I doubt it, if any thing it's going to restrict the airflow IMHO.. It's not a supercharger!

It's a piece of junk which has more potential to restrict the inlet than anything else.

These must be purchased in conjuction with those little impellers that fit up your exhaust pipe, to aid the exhaust gasses to exit faster 
Cool 
Lack of will power has caused more failure than lack of intelligence or ability.
There's hope yet then !

I think you also need one of

It must be true, it's got " a space grade zero friction ball bearing".
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Note this is just an impeller mounted on a bearing, there is no motor or any other form of power!
How can these lying scumbags possibly claim that "This SuperCharger will increase air flow" when it's a purely passive device that
blocks a considerable area of the pipe?
Those figures are obviously the product of an over-active imagination. Just as well we have the ASA in this country.

Its more likely to fall apart, get sucked into the engine and bugger things up good and propper than it is to increase its power output

sorry, look at the last two HP claims - it drops power? Couldn't this be a case (assuming the cars have been on a rolling road) a case of stock
brand new engine HP vs on thats done 10 to 20k miles and bedded in?
Who am i kidding, these things have never been on a rolling road, if they have then the rolling road reads 'high'.
Oh, as for Aircraft grade blah blah - its just marketing bollocks. Anything used on an airplane will be aircraft grade. Everyone just thinks of the
engines - they could be talking about the bog handles.

Cool!!!!!
Mount it on your Dash to cool you down in the summer.
Thats about all its good for, or maybe chopping carrots, but I doubt it would stand up to that, soft vegetables only
( including those who believe the hype)

Im sure Car and Car Conversions did a test on a load of these sorts of things at some point just to show what useless ideas they were.
