Turbonator??
wtf is with this? Is it worth $70 or $.50? 35 hp is a pretty inpressive jump, if it's true.

From the manufactorer's web site :
haha i would like to see that!
Can I use more than one in my vehicle?
Yes, in Fuel Injection/E.F.I. vehicles, up to three Turbonator's have been installed by automotive enthusiasts that race their vehicles.

what are you running? 3 turbonators yo! Sounds like a honda worthless modification to me. If you want performance modify your intake and exhaust, if you want mileage go buy a civic don't expect to get the best of both worths for 70 bucks... Scam.

All it does is create a "vortex" of air into your intake track. Kinda like the Chevy Vortec heads. All that was, was a rifling of the intake ports. Kinda like what you would find in the barrel of a rifle. It'll atomize the fuel better, but we won't see enough gains to justify the cost.

It makes a vortex....that just gets ruined as soon as it hits the next bend in your intake, so say a vortex of air actually does help, as soon as that vortex has to go through anything beisdes just a straight pipe its going to just become the same as it would have been before the "turbonator y0".

They had one of these going around a few years ago called the Tornado. From what I know, it actually cripples the gas mileage, and can even screw up your motor.

Hah maybe this device just makes your car run really lean, better mileage and some power... I don't remember the site saying anything about making your engine last for any amount of time.
It also says that it will outlast your car... Well if you car's engine only lasts for a short amount of time after it....
I guess it would be better to hear from others who have actually installed it instead of me rambling on. But im amazed on that website it does not show a single picture of what it looks like installed. Like I said before I would rather go for a more tried and tested method of creating power.

Some people have a good product that works, others just have a really good advertising plan that allows all the ricers to see their product...yo!
So if 1 turbonator adds 35hp does it increase on a linear curve, meaning that with three you get 105hp?
