HELP WITHT HE X-MAS GIFT (An Intake question)

[nugz]

I just don't get these things...At Idle, theoretically it should work. With a fan increasing the air pressure into the manifold it should create boost, granted it may be only 1 or 2 lbs. But the fan funs at a constant speed so at WOT, it could be a restriction, the engine may need more air than what it is moving....I smell a scam and trouble for the poor little Ecotec..

I wouldn't recommend these in anycase but if you have one with a plastic fan you are just asking for trouble.. I worked with a kid a couple of years ago when these first started hitting ebay. he put one on his jetta and about a month later it flew apart. He had to take the car to a garage and have the top end of his motor taken apart to get all of the nice little pieces of fan out. And the seller he bought if from told him they were not liable in anyway. So the garage bill was all his. As for power gains or not I have no idea if he had a gain or not. He also thought a CAI would give him 30hp..LOL. Just think about it before you put it on your car..

I could do it for the small fee of $999.99 (additional charges may apply. towing, parts, and alcohol not included in price listed.). Hey I bet it would still cost less than the dealer.
