Not exactly the same unit, but similar claims etc.

Dodgy at the very least. A new eBay user for a start with no feedback.

Anyway it seems to be a waste of cashola to be honest, I would imagine that if the claims were true it would've made it in to production cars by now.

But its true that 'rough' air helps atomise the fuel in the air, but thats more influenced by the intake port size than anything else. The relative small size of the 2.5l V6 (as opposed to the bigger 2.9 and 3.0, which were more traditional) intake ports means that even NA engines have loads of turbulence in the ports, which help keep fuel in suspension better.

I doubt that these fans will help at all but make your own decision about it. The evidence for and against is there.

thanks for your comments. Not going to order it, was already doubting it's use, but after what i've read, i feel like i was having those doubts for a good reason. Thanks!
