aFe Power Silver Bullet throttle body spacers use a unique serrated/helix design to agitate the air flow just prior to entry into the engine block. The agitated air stream atomizes the fuel in the combustion chamber for a more complete burn cycle resulting in increased horsepower, torque and improved throttle response. The serrated/helix design also minimizes the annoying whistle found in “helix only” throttle body spacers. Silver Bullet throttle body spacers are constructed of durable 6061-TS aluminum billet and precision-machined for perfect fit.
Smells like snake oil to me

Dont waste your money... If you look at the dyno and read from the baseline. It seems they changed out the oe with a new filter which could have made the very low increase seen early in the powerband on the Dyno. Plus the difference in that dyno is near negligible. The turbulence would likely make no positive impact on a forced induction direct injection motor.

Well since our cars are DI, this pretty much does absolutely nothing. Not to mention I think the turbo pressurization process is more than sufficient to mix air/fuel if we were port injected.
