Has anybody ever driven a car with one in it? The add says it gives you 35 hp and it's only $70..seems too good to be true. Any opinions?

 

from what ive heard it just saves you a few mpg's. really anything like this or the electric supercharger are a waste of money. their performance values are more like 5hp max gain.

 

Just think about it like this: How would restricting airflow increase hp/mpg?

 

and if it did make that much of a difference dont you think car companies would have designed something similiar in order to boost mpg and hp at a low cost?

this thing is a piece of trash and anyone who buys it should be slapped.

 

you mean the crap that you put in the air intake?

then NO in our cars usless!!!

this thing is for uneficient cars, like american V6 and V8, that look like that they increase in displacement but yet keep horse power.
mustang 4.0 is 200 HP new car.
old car was mustang 5.0 engine 205HP, what a shame compare to 2.8 engine 175HP of our car. if our car was 5.0 output would be 320HP estimated. or 30V would be 350HP

 

Yeah but the 5.0's engine designe goes back to the late 60's and the engine managment is from the mid 80's. The 2.8 engine design comes from the mid 90's with late 90's engine management. So even thou the 2.8 is half the size it has twice the technology to make up for its lack of size. In any case the only small effect i can see the turbonator having is on a car with poor fuel atomazation issues. Like a carborator.
