It all depends on the application.
GM has been using this technology for years now. Ever hear of a VORTECH engine?
All they did was spiral the intake ports to help atomize the fuel better. Some say it works, some say it doesnt. See if you can return it before you buy it. I'd say buy it if you are interested and if you arent impressed I think it has some kind of Satisfaction Guarantee.

I don't know about the tornado, but I've seen pix and read threads of people who put those electric blower deals on their cars and the blowers broke. Not real sure if the Tornado is the same thing or not.
