Default Turbonator? Vortex? Tornado? are they really HORSEPOWER or just HYPE??

Some of these products look irresistable... in fact, i called up the turbonator ad, and the owner was explaining the whole system to me... sounds pretty arguable.... a motionless angled ring of steel sends the air into an angular vortex providing better combustion of the air... hmmm supposed to save gas mileage... and add hp... this **** fact or fiction? you can look into it at http://www.turbonator.com Thanks guys..

It is CRAP!! i laugh every time i see one of those. if you really are interested, just cut up a coke can (or canned beverage of your choice) in the same shape and find out for 50 cents. thats all that thing is. an obstruction of airflow
and the CLUB works better than that piece, you can use it to beat up old ladies with.
