Default Does the Turbonator setup really work.

Okay i keep on coming accross things like this on the internet and was wondering if any of them actually work. http://www.turbonator.com/index.html These are all over the internet and claim to increase hp and make your car more fuel efficient. They seem to be legit because they offer a warranty and a money back guarantee. But idk it just seems odd. Could someone please tell me what exactly these are and how/if they work. Has anyone had experience using them. Thank You.

NO

HMT tested it and they actually lost power.

"I purchased two Turbonators for my Chrysler Sebring and immediately noticed the increase in power. It was more than I expected. I am already noticing the improved gas mileage. I like them so much, I am ordering two more for my brothers. Now, it feels like my car has a turbo charger." - Dr. Brian Coyle (San Jose, CA)

Hey, if Dr. Brian Coyle of SJ, California endorses these things, then they must be legit!

****....if I had listened to the Dr.'s advice, I could have spent $70 for a turbo instead of my $3000 kit! CRAP!
