The Single Propeller Of Turbo Fan Intake Fuel Saver spins with the engine speed while generating a maximum force that creates powerful airflow into the combustion chamber at high speed. The propeller sucks the airflow into the combustion chamber at a higher speed resulting atomized burning which increase horse power and saves gasoline.
The flaw is the propeller is free spinning, so no energy is being input into it. The energy comes from the engine trying to suck the air in. Once it hits that thing it has to spend some of it's energy to spin that, so therefore less air gets into the engine. Additionally I am sure there is a vacuum lost on the front side, meaning less vacuum to suck air in. So total VE is lower. Throttle plate is the most restrictive device in the intake and adds pumping losses, ie.. fuel burning wasted energy. Why you want to add more restrictions?
Just thought I share my disgust. :inout:

I second your disgust and raise you a scammer or two.
Just reading their propaganda is LOLZ-inducing, beyond the obvious not-in-a-million-years physics they talk about.
They obviously are after that group of uninformed people who think that anything labeled "new" and "cutting edge" means it's automatically a good idea... :facepalm:

And back on topic, a local TT that just showed up.
The missing front lip, no mileage or price listed, and slop-O-matic would warn the knowing about what to expect here:

Driver seat looks very clean, probably has low miles. Plus the way the description idolizes the car, I bet they will be asking full suggested retail price.

Agreed...but from experience with another nearly identical condition black TT/Auto they had I looked at and drove, it will have some small but expensive issues they will not disclose and act shocked if confronted that the car is not worth 9.5K but 4.5K by an estimator I visited, then will eventually sell the car for the full price to some unsuspecting chump a few months later... :gotme

Too bad about the small dents, but the rest is pretty much what I bought...in CRP though.

Super clean though, and the paint doesn't look bad and if still runs well and has good compression 10K isnt a bad price for it, a bit high but not outrageous. s*** if I had 10k right now I'd look at buying it, its a virgin.

Craigslist is truly one of the greatest sources of humor around.

Here's a 1992 N/A automatic with 107,000 miles for $9,500.I see a lot of these priced in the $9,000 to $16,000 range in the upper Midwest. Despite the usual rants I see on Nico about them being over priced, I personally hope they get all they're asking or even 2 to 3 times more. Only helps to drive up the value of mine and yours. However this one is really worth it:

"Rear Wheel Drive(BOTH wheels spin)" ...which is very rare and good, unless you just want to go around in circles all the time.

Under "Mods" he has listed "NGK Iridium Spark Plugs" ...I always thought that would be like "maintenance."

and, "HKS (HSK?) Full Race Radiater" ... I think that's pronounced Rad-E-eight-er.

Ye of little faith.... http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/c ... 19709.html

1990 N/A 5-speed 95,000 miles and $10,500

He's asking more only because his has:
JERSEY CLOTH TRIM (GREY & BLACK),CUT PILE CARPET
CLOTH PERTECTENT ... we could assume he means protection, however, I'm more inclined to think it's Protestant
RUST PROOFED

Ok, but what if he throws in a pine scented air freshener and one of those Ebay electric turbo fans and some neon under lights? Well I suppose to be a twin turbo, he'd have to throw in two of them.
