That is the JDM intake mod that few of us know about. Now that the cat is out of the bag everyone will have one and be pushing 350 horsepower.

1) Remove intake filter
2) Remove midpipe
3) +40WHP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4) Post in your SIG/AVATAR how you just made 40WHPLOLZ!

I hope it includes some "I'm a jackass" stickers to put on your call after you install it.

It might be a timing tricker mod that plug into the MAF. Who really knows....
Not enough information. I would hate to install something like this on my car.
It would probably screw up something and cost you $1000 to fix.

LOL >>>>>> BAD BUY IMO !!!!

It is very effective in rapidly minimizing the ammount of money in your bank account/paypal account. Some user's could swear that they almost heard a "sucking" noise as they pressed the "bid now" button. Again these are all unconfirmed, please don't quote me on any of this.

PS: You mean the turnbonator doesn't work?!

Sounds like a quick way for them to get $5.99 plus shipping out of your pocket and into their pocket for minimal effort on their part.

Claims to be a performance chip. In one section they state "We know that our mod isn't the only performance chip available on eBay. So why buy from us? ". lol

Good guess, but that was the first generation. It actually is a "whatchamadoogie" - glad I could help on this -
