seen them advertised but never used one. don't really see how it would help. by the time it gets to the turbo or intake and makes all the bends I don't see how the air is going to be any less turbulent than not using it.

Well, you can get them with bearings and wheels that spin alot cheaper off eBag:

Turbo K1 tornado air intake +HP fuel saver fan U.S.A | eBay

Hidden spinner hubcap effect?

Persobally, I've always worked to remove restrictions from my intake.

I saw thoes too but i dont think it will work if its spinning. My logic from working on jet engines it that all turbines have what are called ststor vains. They adjust the airflow for the compressor so its more efficent. It would have to go right infront of the turbo though.

I don't think either one of them will do anything but reduce intake efficiency and increase revenue for the scammers that sell this crap.
