Don't do it man!!!!!!!!!!

For one, those pumps don't push enough air to actually be any benefit. And they usually can't hold up to the intake pressure at high RPMs, causing the plastic fan blades inside to break and go right into your throttle body.

Yeah, I'm not considering doing it or anything. Just cruising E-bay and thought it looked interesting. Seems like kind of a waste, cause even the manufacturer says "Will not add boost, just makes up for inadequacies (sp?) of intake"
Plus the electric charge that the air particles are getting running through a small electric fan would probably make them hotter

especially for peeps with CAI. the fan and blades will only take up space. meaning, less air compacted.
