FSE power boost vavles actually work if used properly, for instance for friends clio 16v was running lean according to rolling road tuners, they fitted a power boost valve to increase fueling and he gained 18bhp. Granted this only worked as a cure for his poor running engine and fitting one to an engine that is running properly will do bugger all

www.turbonator.com been on the market for ages now!
The Turbonator is a non-moving vortex generator. An emissions lab, licensed by the EPA, conducted tests on non-moving vortex generators that produced results as high as 20 horsepower and 24% increases in mileage. Other independent studies yielded results as high as 35 HP and 31% MPG

how can it create a swirl in the combustion chamber when you place it in the inlet so the air still has to go through inlet manifold etc etc so, well, never mind. l
like the bit about it being more effective than an intercooler? like putting an intercooler car on an N/A was the other option i had, lol.

I have ordered 13, I am goin to stick 10 of the fucker after my maxpower air filter, then 3 in the exhaust.
So thats 20 bhp x 13, plus 20 bhp from my max power air filter.
And one of those resistors should give 20bhp.
Sowill my car go from 60 bhp to 360bhp
