It's a tuner for intakes. Actually you shouldn't need one because the AEM comes with the MAF Module already attatched to it. But if you want to purchase a calibrator just to be sure then more power to you. I could think of 1000 better uses for $200 though

EDIT: Unless you have a catback / headers... then this could be very usefull if your car is running rich. Mine is running rich and I have been debating wither to purchase a calibrator or to just get it tuned somewhere

TRD intakes are just fancy stock intakes. they dont really do much. before getting my turbo installed, i had an injen CAI on my 2012 scion tC and it made a pretty noticeable difference. It was pulling a LOT harder in 2nd and third gear. it shocked me how much of an impact just an intake had on a cars performance(car was stock completely at the time)

Injen FTW, you wont regret it, AEM is ehhh, theyre okay and im all for AEM, my ecu and everything in my car is AEM even the gauges, but id say go for the injen.
