just saw it at the bottom of the page... just curious, does this TURBONATOR (sounds like someting from an arrr-nold swaaartz-ahh-neyger movie) actaully even do anything or is it more to get 70 dollars from you for free?

LOL, this is like one of those "electric superchargers" on eBay. It'll work ok until one of the fins break and gets sucked into your motor

i like there thing on the side saying as seen in import tuner... ect

yea it's cause they pay for the ads in those mags not that the mag supports it.

that can throw people off. I would hate to be the victim.

&lt;so what did you do this weekend&gt;
&lt;well i scraped plastic out of my head and off my pistions.&gt;
