Question Turbo fan?

Will this really work or is it just another thing that claims to work but in the mean time makes your wallet a little more lighter?

IT'S JUNK The engine, at peak draw, will pull more air then the fan is capable of delivering.

A normally aspirated PT draws about 200 cfm. This fan is 150!

WALLET LIGHTER is the theme....

This "Ad" says it's 450 CFM, but, the biggest problem is that a fan's CFM is measured at 0" of back pressure. As soon as these fans try to push air into the intake of a car, pressurizing the intake, the CFM drops to below what the engine wants, rendering the fan nearly useless. Probably any increase in horsepower, provided by the "Turbo Fan", would be negated by the increased load put on the electrical system to power the fan.
