If they gave me one it would still be too expensive cuz it wont work . The air and fuel dont mix until the pump /injectors charge the compression stroke .

popular science I think it was did a review on alot of those diffrent devices, like that and the cyclone or tornado or whatever. And none helped improve mileage on any vehical they tested and most hurt power/millage up to like 30%

There is a guy on EBay selling those things. Just read his feed back, he might want eyes in his back.

If those things worked then why are the manufacturers not putting them in all the cars.

Their website doesn't work anymore.

Instead of that I have a TAG (turbo air guide). Its a air straightener. It allows the turbo to grab more air per revolution. I've seen about +1/2 mpg unloaded & about +1-2 loaded. But I only have upto 2000# in the bed & not a lot of towing.
