If they are so good, then why do you not need to change your ECU? I mean, a n/a car's ECU won't be able to sense boost - obviously just vacuum. Add forced induction and when you hit positive pressure, how is the ECU going to cope? No mapping etc for ignition, fuel etc. Engine would detonate like mad and not run properly at all. If anything, it'll probably screw up the pistons big time.
It is for this reason alone that shows these fans to be a pointless waste of money.
