i think itll work but not worth the time or money, if you want something like that buy a tornado. no drilling or any shit like that you just put it into you intake piping and it does the work itself.

Naw man, save your money and time because that is plain shit.


If you want real power, be prepared to cough up some $. There isn't a cheap way to get real power.

When I clicked on it, I thought it was going to be that tiny thing on ebay I always see. This one actually seems like it may work. BUT it'll put a huge strain on your alternator and battery. I want someone to try it.

You guys might not believe me but it actually works! My friend has it on his 240/Silvia and gives it a slight boost.
