If its what I think it is it a stupid bit of plasic that goes in the pipe from your air filter
Did fuck all more to my mates car than "possibly" fuck his air flow sensor. (well it failed not long after fitting one of them things)

its some kind of fan that goes inside your induction hose akter your air filter it is ment to improve air speed and is ment to give you up to 35 bhp more and better fuel cosumption

Sounds almost as gay as an electronic dump valve! did you buy an ebay resistor at the same time?

Make sure you get one of these as well. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Job-Lot-50-Mod...QQcmdZViewItem

I think that plus the turbonator will give you a good +50bhp easy!

I'm being deadly serious. That resistor + the turbonator will give you +50bhp, maybe even +60-70 if you put a roof scoop on your car as well.

get an inline thyristor to latch on to the extra power the dual resisistance module you have is creating

The only problem with the roof scoops is that what you gain in bhp you loose in aerodynamics

We testing a very big and seemingly powerful (created a hell of a wind) electric supercharger on the rolling road and with datron gear, and it did NOTHING.

So what chance does something thats not powered by anything have

Ah but the key to the dual resistor set up is that it causes high resistance to the flux capacitor thus enabling an extra 10 years of time travel to be gained

Not at all, the roof scoop aids with downforce and helps keep the car planted in the corners!

what you need is an anti lag capacitor which stores the extra power and releses it all in one go so giving instant response. so reducing the lag of the turbonator

So what you loose in straight line pace you gain in corner speed, never knew that i might look at fitting 3 to the integra for maximum cornering capabilitys

I have that covered i actually have the turbo capacitor that stores 26psi of boost which can be unleashed with a flick of a switch, it like an electric nos kit

sounds like your sorted with that then, ive got a variable resistor sitting here if you want it. gives you 13 stages of boost pressure from the turbonator. you really need this to make the most of it.... apparently with this and the dual resistance and turbo capacitor you have, you should see gains of about 150 bhp any day

Buy Max Power next month, has a free resistor that gives 50% more power if you connect it to your alternator. Trubador sells them on Ebay for Ł250. Sorry, that was his interpetation of a remap
