He's as bad as Can
Popular machines did in a controlled environment and found they do nothing. If you read the other posts in the fuel line thread you started you would have seen the below link. But if your intent on making an Ebay scammer more money go ahead.

listen... the 8's intake is so advanced that even a 300 dollar intake system will only get 3 hp out of your engine.
if this thing actually got 25 hp as they can advertise ro increase milage by 1 or 2, beleive me it would be on CNN. done get it. waste of money if you really need one so you can make the claims then at least save money. go to home depot and buy a strip of this metel for 20 bucks. make them yourself put one in your car and make 1000 off of the ones you make out of the left over metal.

hahaha WOW that article COMPLETELY just shut them all down...
i mean, i knew that NONE of these ideas could possibly help performance, but i didnt think that theyd HURT it as much as they did.... hahahahah, i feel bad for the brilliant people who buy these... i wonder what they say to themselves when their gas mileage gets cut in half instead of doubles..? "oh, i must have installed it wrong"? lol

Yeah that was probably a bit harsh but for the most part everyone is just joking around so don't take it personally.

Great Results
ok so since i didnt have anything to loose i tried them up so here is what i found out.
Before:
225 to 230 miles average to the tank.
after installing them both:
1st Tank= 253 miles driving both highway and city
2nd Tank= 258 miles driving both highway and city
and at this moment I am on 272 miles and I am almost in E
I DONT KNOW IF THIS GAVE MORE HORSE POWER AND I DONT CARE REALLY! BUT FOR THOSE KNOW IT ALL WHO POSTED ABOVE "YOU ARE WRONG"
from doing 226 ave to 270 now i am very impressed and happy. i didnt care about the horse power but the change in miles per galon to me is great even if its not much.
just SO that YOU know

Bwo-o-oy-y do I feel stupid for spending all the time and money installing that remote turbo All I should have done is put these on.
Awesome product
LOL
For real though, I think your gas mileage has improved because the damn thing just clamps your fuel line, and restricts the flow or something, while the turbonator restricts the airflow, choking your engine... It'll still work, but just really crappy. I guess if you don't care about the power, then... Hey, whatever blows your hair back dude
