anyone ever seen or used this spacer for the throttle body on the TPI?

tpi spacer
it seems to me that ANY type of product designed to cause the airflow to be more turbulent would work on a carb or TBI, but would be completely useless on a TPI, since there's no fuel in the air stream until just before the intake valve.

so, just what's the turbulence supposed to mix, air & air??? more turbulence without any other benefit seems like it's reduce overall airflow, and therefore reduce power.

I got a used one off of Ebay for $15 to use as a spot to mount my N2O nozzle. That's about the only use I could see for something like this...

Yeah I bought one of those tornado things a long time ago for a carb app, now it hangs on the wall as a reminder for stupid gimmic's, A friend of mine recommended this for my truck (TBI) cause it worked great on his, I just ran across the one for the TPI set up and thought WTF??
