Default Turbonater bs or worth it?

okay, i want to see what everybody thinks about this turbonater thing, it is only 70 bucks and claims to add up to 35hp and increase fuel economy, for being this cheap im thinking i might take the risk, any opinions or experiences?

ok i had that thought too, lol, but im desperate for mods on the 12v engine and they are scarce, think any private mechanics could do custom intake jobs or exhaust, cuz no parts i can find are for the 96 a4, all of them are 97< so anybody have ideas

the turbonato is a very controversial topic, while some say that it works, other say it does not. In my opinion it does work on doing what it suppose to do, but it does not support what it claims in the advertisment. imagine draining a bottle from a coke bottle. if you fill it up and turn it around it will take a long while till it is drained. while if you do the say and add a circular motion to it it will draine very fast. that what does the turbonator. but when the vacuem is created in the intake system the similar movements of air are created. so I would say it does not woth our money.
