My friend bought a Tornado Fan at eBay for his 05 TL and told me he got 2+ more mpg and the car pulls hard with that ****. I was all like what you guys react, wtf u serious? "Well, $30 something. Why not give it a try?" I said to myself. I got this **** this afternoon. Put it in right away. Because there isn't room for it before the MAF, I have to put it right behind the MAF. I concerned about not getting the right a/f raito. I brought my laptop with me so I could monitor the a/f ratio and test drive it. Hollyshit, my Si really pulls harder than ever. The the moment when Vtec kicks in is much more noticable and it revs faster. Believe it or not, it feels like you just put an intake or exhaust on a stock car. Also, MAP & MAF are working together appropriately. These are what I have done on my car yet: Poorman's Mugen Intake, K&N air filter, IMG, TB spacer, NST light weight pulley kit. I want the reflash to be my next mod, but not sure if my mods are ready for the reflash. I know you are laughing or something, but I just wanna share my experience with ya. When I have time this morning or Sunday maybe, I will take some pics and have my friend to look at my Dyno-Scan(a/f raito, air temp, MAP & MAF value, intake pressure, boost pressure, etc.) while I am driving and get some data for you guys to see. Maybe a DIY write up if you guys want one.

there is some fins before the MAP sensor, so I have to locate it after the MAP sensor. The Tornado Fan is about 4". There is a little more than 1" room after the sensor. However, the fat ass blue rubber spacer does a very good job to keep the fan there. I have no idea how much temp the spacer can handle, bit I haven't seen any sight of melt.

If it's melting, you're doing it wrong. You want it to be cooked on the outside, with a light pink on the inside. Someone's already posted how it should look after the install (it's even an animated gif!).

I've been a member here since I got my SI in last Dec. I mostly just read and get some info. I don't make many posts. I notice this. There are many people here say things base on their opinion or thought, not base on their real experience.
