You're better off spending your money on a couple of lap dances. You'll at least come out with a smile on your face.

yea that thing is about as worthless as the fuel line magnet thing. If such a simple piece of metal gave you the increase in gas mileage and power they claim EVERY car made would have one from the factory. Any product that claims things like that is bs and if you don't belive me I will sell you an oil filter that will give you 283% better gas mileage and 964% more horsepower.just send me 23.95 + 8.95 shipping and handling.

yea dude.. if you really think about it, a product that gives like 15 hp and 20% increase in hp, all car companies will be all over it to put it into their cars to sell to people. ford spent millions and millions to try to save gas, i bet tons of other car companies spend alot of money to add hp and save gas on their vechicles. if its as easy as adding a 50 dollar turbonator into thier cars, every car company would have done it a while ago.

sometimes its best to let people learn the hard way. If you think putting a plastic blower fan into your intake pipe *is a good idea* then by all means make the purchase. However... If you end up with plastic fan blades going into your motor, dot came back crying for help. Itll be one of those I told you so moments.

*edit* heh had to fix my own bad english.

i agree with this.... that fan is SUPPOSED to condense the air into the IM but it's such BS!!! think logically on this...anything that blocks the airpath into the motor is going to restrict the volume of air going into the motor... def stay away from any of the turbonator or tornado intake systems... Garbage!
