I can do the White Tornado.

The car part sucks though. It's not worth anything.

since you're serious, DON'T BUY IT.

you'll get the same results if you placed a cookie cutter inside the elbow of your intake.

you're better off spending the $29.95 (unsure of the price) for the tornado on a George Foreman grill. now, that is an informercial product that works.

Nah, they don't work. However, those electric superchargers work wonders. You're looking at a 50hp increase with those.

I have two of them in my car, one on the upper charge pipe and the other one on the lower charge pipe before the IC..

I gained about 150 HP with the help of the unorthodox crank pulley and the engine grounding system at the same level of boost.
I dynoed at 450 at .45 bar.,...and my ET dropped a full and a half second witht he tornados installed...to 10.5

like he said.... is a waste of money, a waste of time thinking about this product... a waste of your time that you watch the infomercial.. and a waste of a post here in the FI... simple save yourself the money and go buy some Type R sticker you'll see better results...

I bought one when they first came out a few years back and put it on my 98 civic and it made no difference what so ever, I returned it and got my money back.
