Wow, they really do sell everything on Amazon, huh?

The seller claims 20% gains, but the picture of the box says REAL BIG "5% HP gains"

Dang I want to know if that works really bad. Even 5% isn't bad thats 7 hp at the wheels we pay $300 for a chip that gives us the same amount of power.

Dude NA's can be supercharger or turbo charged, Too many of you guys listen to the BS fellas on here that say it cant. A turbo system would be easy, 10-15psi with a FMI and some fuel/timing upgrades and you would be fine. A SC would also go easy, if you could find a unit to fit. Toyota guys/honda/ford guys do it all the time, Just cuz its a porsche doesnt mean its the best. I do agree that the ELECTRIC crap is total BS, NOthing like that will help, It just cant pull the amps neeeded for the HP gained

hmmm...that fan looks an awful lot like a small muffin fan for a computer. I think that the best of those will flow ~60 cfm (4" diameter)...even assuming that this thing can get the power to "spin to 23,500 rpm" I have a very hard time believing that it will flow more air than a 4" diameter muffin fan

and I know that 944 N/A motors can pull well over 60 cfm on their own...hell a 600cc motorcycle engine with a 19mm restrictor plate will pull a bit over 60 cfm...

seems like a great way to tax your alternator and choke flow into the intake.....where do i sign up? hahahaha

I don't think anyone here has said it can't be done ... just that it's not worth doing it. From a cash (and man-hours) standpoint, it makes way more sense to just buy a turbo car.
