apparantly theres a 20hp gain from this thing....thoughts?

 

search, its ****.
consumer report did a review.

 

Plus i wouldn't expect anyone to put anything that cheap in their car anyways

 

Metal fin in intake for 20hp FTW!!! A freind of mine put one on his Viper and got 150whp gain from it!!!

 

i don't get how people think these things work...and idk why car and driver would let it in their magazine, even as an ad.

 

Because $$$

"The Turbonator is much less expensive and more efficient than any turbocharger, supercharger, blower, or intercooler. Its superior design can increase horsepower and the Turbonator's performance is backed with a 30-day money back guarantee."

I dont see how they can actually claim something like that... I bet that you wouldnt see anything over 2 or 3hp IF you even saw a gain at all...

Plus if you have any common sense you will think about how thye claim it works. It might spin the air as it passes the fins, but after that the "vortex" it creates will vanish and the air will begin to flow normal again...

 

Total crap. In fact, it's so craptacular that I'm closing this thread.
