Wow, so this flimsy little piece of garbage actually creates a vortex of incoming air that accelerates around the bend of the PT intake and gives you 30 more horsepower and increases your mileage to 32 miles (+/-) per gallon? And it does all that while placing a restriction to said incoming air in your intake path? Wow! Man, I'd love to see an INDEPENDANT dyno plot of this little miracle device! Just make sure you order the correct part number. From what I read on Internet thingy, it only increses HP if the air spins counterclockwise, and you'll lose power if it spins clockwise. Of course, that rule doesn't apply in Australia, as the flow must be opposite down there!

Well I'm sure that the HP is greatly exagerated by this product, but the device that I had installed in my PT was the one made by "Tornado'". And it did not claim the outrageous numbers that this other device is claiming. However, the design is basicaly THE SAME. The one designed by Tornado has been recognized by Motor Trend and has Dyno results to prove it. Here is there web site if you don't believe me.

The increase is very minor, more like 3-5%. But every little bit helps.

You have to disconect your battery and let your computer re-map the air-to-fuel ratio. Also if it's installed backwards it WON'T work properly.
