Good luck with the mods.
I think you have something wrong here. It's the "Tornado" that claims to twist the air, simulating a super charger, NOT the K&N or Air Raid filter chargers.

Twisting the air in a PT does NOTHING! The long runners in the upper manifold completely destroy any twisted affect so it is absolutly useless.

Both the K&N and Air Raid both claim to let more filtered air into the throttle body thereby adding to performance. Air Raid being in it's own box shields hot engine air and draws cooler air from the fender well. K&N Filter Charger doing the same thing with shielding but not in a box. K&N drop-in filter along with a couple of mods on the stock air box has been proven to be just as good at half the cost.
