Yes - sarcasm was implied with klepto's response

Yeah, this falls into the category of "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." There is no magical chip that you can get for $40 that will give you anywhere near 20hp. If you're strapped for cash, you're better off trying to buy a used intake for around $40-$60 and at least you'll get a REAL gain. Granted, it'll only be 5-10hp at most, but it's better than wasting your money on something that will do nothing.

The reason for Klepto's response is because many people have thought about these fad type things and/or posted threads about them. If you use the search function for this or the turbonator (among other things), you'll find a bunch of wasted threads referencing these types of products.
