I get the idea..... But how's the actual performance? Snake oil? Hmmm, I'd love to see a stock jeep go head to head with it and see of there is any difference.....
Funny how there is no videos of it in use.

Thats an air pump they use to vent fumes out of boat engine rooms - They also use them for auto racing to pump air to the driver.
But the funniest thing is at 3:15sec when they turn the motor on and tell you it produces 35hp ---- take notice the impeller is spinning the wrong way - So its actually sucking air out of the engine...

Snake oil. These things have been around for a while and are all over eBay. Seen quite a few of them marketed to the Dakota crowd. They take a small air turbine from a pump or a leaf blower and mount it inside a tube that's compatible with a vehicles intake system.
They don't make any form of power. Don't waste your time.

I have an air pump designed for racing that is used to pump air to the brakes and tires. They move only about 450 CFM... thats it. My brake pumps are 1000 times better than that piece of crap. Look at the home made impeller blade. Probably only moves 100 cfm at best and at full redline on an internal combustion engine would probably be more of an obstruction to air flow.

What's with the chips flying out of when they turn it on? It sounds like a blender
.
Regarding its appearing to be turning backwards, that could be do to the scan rate of the video device.
