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.
