I can see how it *might* help a normally aspirated, carburetted engine a
little, but I doubt it can do much for a fuel injected or turbocharged
engine simply due to how it works.

I'd personally file it as the same kind of snake oil as the Hi-Clone which
makes a good few of the same claims.

No experience - just gut feel.

It's full of s**t. So say the UK Advertising Standards Authority:
