Default Turbonator. Anybody ever seen or used it

This looks like nothing more than a tb spacer with the swirling effect to it except this thing goes in after the airbox or maf I guess. I am NOT thinking of getting one, seems a little far fetched in their claims, funny acutually. Here is the link.

Aww come on, if all of us get one, "we could eleminate our dependancy on mid east oil"
I bought three for my bicycle. "Now, it feels like it has a turbo charger" I took an R1 from a 25mph roll, i swear.

O **** ....(FROM THE TESTMONIALS PAGE)

In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech."

EVEN BETTER.... MAN I THINK EVEN THESE PEOPLE KNOW THEIR FULL OF ****

"I purchased two Turbonators for my Chrysler Sebring and immediately noticed the increase in power. It was more than I expected. I am already noticing the improved gas mileage. I like them so much, I am ordering two more for my brothers. Now, it feels like my car has a turbo charger." - Dr. Brian Coyle (San Jose, CA)
