NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Total waste of money on a injected engine, they are for carbed boosted engines.

NEVER!

Have no effect on fuel injected engine except to lighten your wallet.

Made some sense in the days of carburetors because there was a fuel and air mixture to swirl.

With fuel injection you'd only swirl the air. Waste of time and money.

About the only use would be to port it to introduce NO2 ..... :burnout:
