Default is this 4 real? 20 horsepower gain

Utilizing multiple aerodynamic principles, the Helix Power Tower PLUS throttle body spacer produces air breakup and turbulence that yields greater fuel burn efficiency, which translates into the best performing and efficient product of it's type in the marketplace!
Dyno tests resulted in up to a 20 horsepower gain, while dramatically increasing torque, thus improving the fuel mileage.
The Helix Power Tower PLUS throttle body spacer is crafted from heat-treated T-6061 aircraft quality solid-billet aluminum. Each plate is held to the most rigorous manufacturing standards in the industry. They are machined on the most advanced CNC equipment available, assuring you of the most accurate product possible. Each plate is subjected to ultra high inspection standards, for further assurance of the finest product in the marketplace.

You aren't going to get 20 hp from a throttle body spacer.

I can get you 50 HP very easy. For example: The present Horsepower output of your car is 200. Now it is 250 HP, very simple just like the Helix tower of power.

Ye of little faith. The reason it produces all that power is that it is CNC machined. This is almost as good as a Turbinator. lol
Seriously, throttle body spacers may or may not work, depending on the intake system, but 20 HP is a little far fetched. Also, aluminum is the worst material to use in making a spacer, as you want to insulate the throttle body from engine heat rather than helping to conduct the heat to it.

Turbines work fine, but not when you stick them into the intake system and don't provide any power to them. In this case, all they do is to interfere with the air flow and cause a power loss.
