I found this and wondered if it is as good as it says it is.

Heck yeah they do! The best way to do it is to line up 3 of them in your intake, that way when they hit the throttle body spacer, the air is spinning so fast that you are looking at some serious horsepower!

You can put them on your stock intake right?

And do you need any other modifications after installing them?

I am sorry, I am stringing you along for a dirty joke. The turbonators/throttle body spacers do nothing to multi port fuel injected (mpfi) automobiles. The only thing the turbonater will do to your truck is create an obstruction between your air filter and throttle body. If you were driving a carbureted or throttle body injected (tbi) vehicle, you would see some minimal gains.

End point: don't waste your money on those... wastes of money.

If you believe the turbonator works, I have some solar powered clothes dryers for sale also.
