Sorry. It's not going to help.
The Tornado widget is suppose to create a vortex within the intake air stream, which supposedly helps with fuel atomization, thus increasing power and fuel economy. There are several reasons that I don't see this working.
For one, I doubt if it has any significant effect on creating a vortex within the air stream. Most likely I just see it causing more turbulence and decreasing the efficiency of your air charge. Also, if it did somehow create a vortex of sorts, that vortex still has to travel through the throttle body, throttle blade, and intake into the plenum, magically split into eight different mini-vortecies, and sustain itself through several fairly extreme bends before it sees any fuel. And then it undergoes the trauma of traveling through the valves into the chamber.... Yeah. I don't think so.
Anyway, 20 hp? Hades no. The only beneficial effect I see it having would be similar to a throttle body or intake spacer.
