Default The Turbonator

Just installed the Turbonator and all I can say is WOW! 55+ HP!!

J/K

Are these people for real?

I'm sure no one on this forum has installed one of these on their cars, right?

also known as the tornado.....also known as a gigantic waste of money, first of all....it will not create a swirling vortex of air, secondly, any air intake ona turbo really won;t do much of anything anyway excpet help the turbo spool up faster

don;t waste your time....its a pretty funny name tho

Turbulence is useful in combustion... not so much when you're trying to get to move through a duct. Even if this device actually did what it advertise by producing a vortex downstream of the air filter, I imagine the dynamics at the piston intake would kill it.

Anyone here got some fabrication skills? Maybe we should put some fancy MPG boosting device together. Looks like the only thing we need is some buzzwords...
