I have even seen some of the "high-end" suppliers sell them. What a waste.

Why not sell a 12V portable tire inflater compressor that mounts into your air intake. Or duct your heat & a/c fan blower motor directly back into the intake constant power at the flick of your fan speed switch.

You guys don't appreciate the genius in ideas and marketing. We all know it doesn't work, but look at all the exposure he is getting now. I'll bet he has sold quite a few of them and is laughing all the way to the bank. I'll bet you he doesn't have one on his vehicles.

Lets see... it's a turbo, easy to install, is visible under the hood... Ricer boys - "Yo, I just installed a turbo in my 99 CRX, gonna give me 30% more HP." "Cool, you did it yourself? That looks sick, I love the air cleaner."

He individualizes them for certain makes and models of cars but in the fine print you find out all you are getting is the fan. The other items on his site are 2 dollar bills and crossbows. So the next time I need some 2 dollar bills a crossbow and a overpriced fan I'll shop here.
