I got one on my old Rover 214 and can honestly say it really worked!

I out-dragged a Skyline Lemans - supposed to be nearly 900bhp.  Walked him like he stood still.  I then entered F1 and won the world championship, smashing every lap record for every circuit ever made.
I did it all one only half a tank of petrol too, because I get such good economy I never need to fill up.  And all for only £4.99 (plus £2.95 p+p) from ebay.
So don't knock it until you've tried it...

I recently got sick of the millions of "resistor mods" on ebay and emailed one prolific seller, he told me:

"It tricks your car in to finkin that the engine is cold and does in fact can be more economical try it and find d out!!! DONT ASSUME UNTIL U HAVE TRIED"

I considered myself told and subsequently installed a resistor inline with the megasquirt IAT and saw a 30hp gain.... Honest.... pmsl.

just emailed the seller.. told him my engine has blown up and i'm having a engineers report done with the twister in place.. If he thinks this was the cause and it was to do with the twister i'm gonna take matters further... lol

in theory it should work, but not with that lump of crap in ur inlet, it'll just restrict the flow.

Its a controversial theory to start with, and even then its meant to be done right before the air enters the cyl - not back up at the  start of the intake where the air has time to straighten itself out again anyway.
