Interesting.  A local guy was working with one of those last year - John
Broderick/MR2 Performance.  We made fun of it, but he had a point - for
turbo cars (like his MR2) it might be of use.   A little backpressure to
get things going, free flowing at WOT.  Hmm.  AFAIK, it was his idea, not
Nologys, although he does work closely with Nology, offering a contingency
program, other products.  One thing I'd consider - last I saw his car, he
did not have the Mack truck exhaust on it.  FWIW.
