Turbo air guide?

Anyone heard of this and if so any good results? I don't want to knock it , but it reminds me of the "as seen on tv" tornado. But who knows? I seen it on www.blackclouddiesel.com by the way.

I get a little more low end pull and about .5 mpg bump in towing mileage.

I know they can help on 2nd gens, but don't use two if you have twins!

I don't think they make much difference on 3rd gens with the air guides in the elbow clamped to the compressor inlet.

thanks for all the replies. Would ya'll say it was worth the money spent, or should I blow my $ elsewhere?

These have been around a long time. When I first heard of them there was a lot of positive things bening said. But as time wore on, more and more folks reported that there was really no gains seen, hp or mileage. So, based on that, I never got one. My opinion, blow your money elsewhere.
