Run, don't walk from this product. This is a rip off. They do nothing. The little fan can barley supply enough air during idle let alone at WOT. It will actually restrict the incoming air to your engine.

Please search the internet for some other people’s opinions about this product.

Heck search Volvospeed. There is a search function at the bottom of their forum page.

Save you hard earned cash to spend on something worthwhile. These gismos are nothing but a gimmick. If you study the physics of turbo-charging, you will soon realise it's quite impossible for these gadgets to do just what they are claimed to do.

hey bro, send me the money, i will send you a greek "fairy of speed" icon that is guaranteed to give you a bazillion horse and be irresistible to females. and sheep. :grin: seriously, it's junk. better to spend your money on that george foreman travel grille that you can cook with using your cigarette lighter socket. just imagine, ribs on the road. your girlfriend can smoke the ribs from the back seat. nobody will tailgate because of all the smoke :grin:

Looks like the use of the back seat has somewhat changed over the years.

hey, if he can reach back there from the front while driving, then he really is the man. :banana: and our mayor just raised the price of cigs to almost $10 a pack. so smoking ribs might be in my future as well.

No, no, no. Forget that idea. People don't care about horsepower anymore. It's mileage. Have you seen how much gas costs? Send me the money, and I'll send you these two magnets that you attach to your fuel line..... :grin:
