alright, when you see crap that claims to give you huge boosts in performance that cost almost nothing, you're BS meter should go off the scale. same deal goes for the air intake resistor for $5 on ebay and the other crap they sell.
this piece of plastic supposedly works by changing the way your air is flowing. i would want a trusted third party to scientifically test this before i belive anything on that website.
if you want a quick bolt on that will add 5-10hp, get a cold air intake. that will be cheaper than the turbonator and cold air intakes are actually known to work. i have an extensive post on my experience with one at ACNA's performance forum.
the exhaust is the next area where you can get 10hp however it is very expensive and certainly isn't work the money if you're just looking for power.the aurora certianly isn't a car meant to be modified but a CAI will give you a little performance boost and actually help your gas milage.

Do not disrupt the laminar air-flow that the honeycomb insert provides. It's in there for a reason.

I can't beleieve they get away with selling this stuff. I've thought about getting one in the past. But, upon inspection of the inake system, it's clear that it wouldn't work. Isn't the air intake designed to create smooth laminar flow as opposed to to turbulent air flow?

i am kind of skeptical too....ive seen ads galore on this....i did see that it won an award for product of the year in some magazine...i cant remember where....... to me sounds like bs....it has been around for years now...it is cheap....if it really worked saving gas and improving HP, auto manufacturers would add it to cars at the factory...therefore i kind of think it is BS....After a while when you hear alot of hype about something you begin to believe it...Its like when my brother bought one of those bracelets that is supposed to help cure all sickness that you may encounter...and it makes you rich too!...YEA RIGHT!
