I doubt there's enough space.

Also it only comes on at full throttle, how often do you put your foot flat to the floor?

WOW 1 whole PSI of boost..

I bet just the airflow from just the car moving makes more than that....

its the equivalent of placing a potato in the intake the kind of restriction that looks like it would cause
