Don't fall for those ebay scams.

A fan inside an intake does not work. It obstructs air flow and the open cone will only allow in hot air, which is less dense and does not even bring in the same amount of power.

The intake tornado for fuel savings doesn't work, and neither do those "chips" that promise HP and MPG gains.

Its really not exactly like that. The tornado works up untill a certain rpm.
The electric turbo is the same exact as the tornado, it will give boost for the first few thousand rpms, and the chips give you about 1/100 HP gain.
Either way, like he said, DONT FALL FOR THE SCAMS, the basic explaination of the electric turbo/supercharger is, it boosts torque and dramastically decreases HP in the higher range, not a good idea though.

Literally, hooking leaf blower up will get you more than 3 psi.

I've seen this discussion several times on different sites. My advice: if you want boost get a turbocharger

Thanks, thats what I was thinking. Just caught my eye. I think im just going to go with an air intake. I already have magnaflow exhaust but wondering if the 3.9s have a cold air intake kit?
