I came across this thing last nite and was wandering if anyone has heard of it and if its not just a hack. They clame "The Turbonator is much less expensive and more efficient than any turbocharger, supercharger, blower, or intercooler. Its superior design increases horsepower while lowering fuel costs" and "More Power: Are you looking for more power from your wheels? Whether you have a stock or aftermarket intake system, the Turbonator will add up to 35 horsepower to your vehicle." if anyone knows more let me know. http://www.turbonator.com/index.html

Thanks

No, this is for real.

It doubles as a great blender too.

its much less expensive than a turbocharger because its much less efficient.
this add a hole of 35 bucks in your pocket.
that shit is a simpleton catcher.

the same for electric turbos...running a little pressure with just a "little" 120 amps and more of electric motors...

I've always loved the little magnet gadget for the gas line that "lines up the fuel molecules" so that they combust "more efficiently"..... and then there were the little pills (asprin?) that you could put in your air intake. I'm not sure what they were for.... to get rid of the headaches you car might give you perhaps? :lol: None of which work quite so well as the "go faster" stick on racing stripes.

GTV625ZA, don't feel bad, these products have been fooling smart people for a long time. However the reality is that it will not help a healthy engine. If they worked I would be selling them.
