My immediate thought was that air blown by a turbocharger would be pretty "agitated" already. [As you've also stated below]. Even my wife agreed that compared to the turbocharger, it was unlikely to produce any significant turbulence. > The idea that introducing a small air leak into the inlet > manifold could increase the turbulence significantly is quite > frankly laughable. It appears that the device is harmless enough not to cause a problem, but doesn't actually do enough to make any difference. There's a few over on Saab Central forums who've used these, but I wanted to get an opinion from you guys. Paul
