I believe this is the same thing that Don's Pump Service does in Ohio. I think it is a jet ski impeller. Performance improvement, I don't know. Might not work with a loader grate in place.

I have one in my boat.It will make your boat take off like a rocket and it wont hurt top end speed.Give Dons pump service a call.

They used to make from a jet-ski impeller, but they are made specificaly for real pumps (stainless steel). We use them in our tin river boats and they get you out of hole better, but have been know to cost a mph or two at top end in some of the boats that we have tested.

We sell Don's inducer impeller and have real good luck with them. I've never had one slow a boat down, but what opening the nozzle a little brought it right back up to speed again. What that is telling you is that you were not loading your pump on the top end. Yes they work great. I have one in my personal 23' Tunnel Boat with a EFI 572 cid Chevy. and love it. Also in our race boat.

dave, how many horses did it make,(what is the motor) and what kind of boat is it in? sounds like my 572 might be a little weak, never the less it pushes my 21' daytona to around 99 mph on gps.

dave, me and a buddy were talking to tom and he was telling us about your motor and how he was impressed with the power it made. i forget, i think he was saying it was intercooled with about 9-10 lbs of boost.

Are you sure about that ultimate? Seems they would be strictly sell dons's since don has been a dominator dealer since day one and uses for the most part dominator/Turbine.
