    Well "tornado" sometimes work but if you use your stock ECU you might as well dont buy it, the ECU doesnt like too much air into the engine. I suggest buying a TRD drop in filter and change your plugs from your stock NGKs to Denso IK27 it gives at least 2+ hp and the drop in filter maybe 2-4 hp but dont expect too much its not turbo you know.

    would this work?

    Ok, I finally want to do something to the engine to my car, but didn't want to spend a whole lot of money, so I decided to start with an intake. At the very least, just get a K&N drop in filter or something of that nature... however, a friend of mine suggested that I get an intake (cold air or short ram) and put one of those tornado gas saver things in it. I wanted to know if you all think that its worth it. Please advise!

    Nope, it's a gimmick and is worse than not having it. Do a search and you'll see all kinds of wonderful info on it. And get new friends. LOL j/k
