Not bad news to me I would not put one on my sled if it was given to me . Freddy asked me my opinion so i answered him . I'm sure they do something but i still maintain that the tuneup is 90% of the power gain . If the filters did all of the gain the tuneup would not be nesesary .

Sorry Tom, but I have to say this...you are going to be one of "those" customers who install a turbo, don't tune it correctly, grenade your engine and then blame the turbo manufacturer. Guys like you are absolutely, positively better off leaving your sleds, cars, boats, motorcycles, airplanes, ATV's, dirbikes, tanks, bulldozers, backhoes, chainsaws, and anything else that runs via an engine 100% stock and ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS purchase the extended warranty from the dealer!
I have dealt with many folks just like you and I have learned that through a little bit of an "interview" on my part, the result is that you are far better off not doing anything..even the slightest modification to your engine in whatever vehicle you own. This way, there is no possible way that you could slam a guy like me or the other fine vendors/advertisers on this forum for "supposedly" making your engine run worse than it did when in stock condition. Why don't you have your "friend" return his kit to me and I will refund his money? Don't spend a dime with my company but talk well about me...please.
Everyone...listen carefully to this advice. It will save a relationship. You need to tell the engine builder/modifier/tuner what you want your engine to be when it grows up. If you could figure out how to make John Force's nitro Funny Car engine last for an entire season, I am certain he would throw Austin Coil and Bernie Fedderly out of bed and even tuck you in every night with giant "white toothy" kiss on the cheek and perhaps on the lips!
Thanks for axplaining your reasoning though Tom. I am grateful to hear about your views.
