t's actually a fan that needs that is connected to the battery. I need to install a push switch that the throtlle would activate when accelaration pedal is push to the floor.
Like I said, I havent install it yet. But for 70$, full return warranty, what can I lose.

well, have you looked at what messing with the air/fuel ratio of a running engine can do? As a corollary, have you seen the cost of a full rebuild should you blow up your motor?
If you're thinking that somehow this $70 bolt on will work, do you know how many extra cfm of air this fan will pump into your engine at full throttle? Can the fan even flow more air than the engine can pull on its own? If its not, send it back now and just stick todays newspaper over your intake filter - you'll acheive the same results and come out $70 closer to paying for the rebuild mentioned above.
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't want to see you learn the hard way that properly increasing the horsepower on any car is more complicated than just plugging a fan into the intake

OK, OK!!!
I just installed it & tried it on my volks golf 97 before I install it on my 944 (better off scrapping a golf motor than a porsche). Here is the verdict. NO DIFFERENCE IN HP GAIN AT ALL.
Nothing, not a bit. This product wont damage your motor, it wont do anything to it.
So yes, I've already asked for a full refund on Ebay.
Want do you want, I havent change since I was a kid. Like those gadgets you where able to order by accumulating points by purchasing and chewing Bazooka Joe's bubble gum. : ) Remember those x-rays glasses....
