Wow, to think that I wasted all that $ on intake, shift kit, throttle body, exhaust, etc... for my Mustang, when this is all I needed!

By enhancing fuel atomization, the Turbonator increases horsepower and fuel economy. An emissions lab, licensed by the EPA conducted tests on non-moving vortex generators that produced results as high as 20 horsepower and 24% increases in mileage. Other independent studies yielded results as high as 35 HP and 31% MPG. Although results varied from vehicle to vehicle, gains were evident, and considering the unit is inexpensive, easy to install, and requires no maintenance, the Turbonator is a worthwhile investment. Order now.

Notice in this section from the website that the EPA tested non moving vortex generators but they don't specify that they tested THEIR specific product.

Maybe they got 35 more hp when they removed the restrictor plate from the intake

Yeah, wish I knew about it before I spent all that money for a K27 turbocharger, MAF, extrude honed intake, matched o-ringed head, higher fuel pressure, reamed throttle body, and bigger boost tubes, plus 1.1 bar boost for my track Porsche.

Probably could have gotten away without the second oil cooler too as I am sure it would make more power with less heat generation.
