What an utter load of tripe. Yet another "we think we know better than the car manufacturer" company.
You'd be better off fitting a free-flow air filter.

Look, we've seen so many of this type of thing around that everyone should now be operating on the same theory "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"

I don't know how much they charge for these things but I am willing to sell anyone who want one one of my old socks for £29.99- its probably cheaper than a surbo, and you can stuff it in your intake and it will give you the same effect!!!!!!
Discount price for a pair of socks for the twin-surbo effect is £59.97!!!

Snake oil again, the idea of something for nothing always attracts the gullible, thankfully my special charm item protects me from such things and it only cost £200!

Now then, as a great man once said: naivety is a flaw of youth, but cynicism is a curse of the aged.
