won't do anything i never understood the concept and how it was suppose to work on EFI cars. if anything the turbulance would slow airflow and lose power. the vortex it creates would be sepperated into three in the tb then into 4 in the manifold so the air wouldn't even be spinning anymore by the time the air met the injectors so no more atomization would happen than normal. Maybe in a carbed car it might help a bit but i doubt it

I actually use 7 in my car. One in the main intake and then I had 6 more custom made to fit in each of the additional port tubes in the intake. My dyno before was at 130hp to the wheels and after was 185hp to the wheels. My fuel economy also went from 18mpg to 35mpg. By far the best investment I have ever made. I am also told it made my farts smell like roses (which pleased the wife).
All dyno results were measured using a buttdyno. You best option is to purchase one prior to installing the tornado in order to have a baseline. Othewise you will not know what your power gains really are. You can order one here. http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main...products_id=41

I agree with everyone else, it's a scam dont waste your money!!
But if you do get it, you might as well install this $10 chip that adds like 70 hp + 15 mpg: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2in1-...m360050968657&

good god you are a senical bunch arnt ya. long story short its a bad idea just like the Ebay electic-superchargers. its a waist of money but i can see why you might ask with gas prices as they are. the best thing intake wise you can do cheaply to make more HP and get better MPG is make sure you have a nice clean air filter.
