How do they get away with those words? Offering the money back guarantee?
Anything thrusting turbulent, sounds scary.
Not sure why that works for a selling point.

turbulent flow requires the engine to work harder to injest the same amount of oxygen, sooo.... Fluid dynamics, anyone? :rolleyes:

a lot of people don't know much about cars and are trying to save any way they can in these times, and for 30 bucks it's worth a shot to them

It's probably like the lifetime-waranteed chinese wheel hubs. Sure, they claim they'll refund you, but do they really? I never got a refund (or any further communication) when I went that route and my hub was broken again 6 monthes later.

They said if you aren't satisfied, they didn't promise to give your money back if it didn't improve HP.
