Is this a load of rubbish, or is it a possibility?
I feel sure I've read about this somewhere and people were not impressed.
I can't see how it works.
Any ideas?

Two words.....

Horse shit.....

It will do nothing but empty your pocket for the cost of initial purchase

I've looked at a couple of similar devices, the general opinion is that they are more likely to restrict the airflow than improve it.
I notice it states that it isn't electrically powered, in which case it must be relying on airflow to power it, it dosen't sound viable.

  Lubricated with Snake Oil no-doubt!

I thought as much, at least with the snake oil they can wriggle out of their claims.....

I can't work out what it is supposed to be - looks like a fan to clog the intake more than anything else

Looks like it will fit any car aswell , did see this earlier in the week

It looks like its trying to add swirl to the air as it passes through it which might help atomisation of the fuel.

Reality is that this might be a reasonable thing to do mounted on top of a carb close to the venturi or even on an SPi setup....but feet away from the injector on the wrong side of a plenum on a fuel injected car, now thats a different matter!

I think for a carb car anything Vizard does would make more sense
