Found this in my air cleaner to turbo hose. The cyclone Airbender. I suppose this adds like 15 hp. My truck has probably lost 3 to 400 pounds pulling off jdm tech upgrades and farckles.

Wow! Looks like it would add more turbulence to the airflow than anything else.
 
I found 3 of those hiclones in a vehicle about 20years ago. One in the airbox, one in the intake pipe and one at the inlet manifold. Removed them all and didn't notice any change in performance or fuel economy.
 
Silly for the 80 because the air is gonna be pretty swirly from the snorkel and the centrifugal air box.
 
The standard joke for decades has been "you need three hyclones for them to give maximum powa".

Snake oil at its finest! About as meaningful as putting magnets on fuel lines!

I thought they were an Aussie thing. Interesting it found us way to a JDM vehicle
 
Found these in a Prado I used to have. Stone like marbles in a spring

Energy crystals?

I found a box connected between positive and negative battery terminals on one 4wd I bought. Broke it open to find a big capacitor inside!

Just in case a lead-acid battery didn't have enough capacitance already or something.........
