I read a test of the product, sorry I can't remember which mag it was, that said they actually add drag to the intake system and reduce effeciency, NOT improve. I'd use the 70 bucks on something else that DOES work. Lil is right again, it would be waste of money.

send me a money order for $70.00, i will come to your house, ask you to bend over, then i will kick you in the ass. this is basically what the manufacturer is asking of you. or you could send me the money order and i wont come kick you in the ass which will save you a little time and pride.

im just messing with you, however the so called "turbo" products which boil down to a computer fan (without a motor) inside of your intake are a total hoax. save your money for a real turbo kit. they are only about 35 times as expensive.

If its the same kit I have seen, the dorky little fan only works at WOT or when you manually turn it on. It cannot be left on constantly, so anytime it isn't running, it is disrupting your airflow. Still, they seem to sell a bunch of them on ebay. What is the saying, "a fool and his money........"
I think they should call it the Turdonator!!!!

Yeah I remember the tornado.........

I got one for christmas one year. Woo hoo.......

I tried it, glad I didnt spend the money on it. I did however make a nice pin wheel out of it and its hanging on my porch. I really didnt notice any gain or any losses.

I tried it in my dads 98 dakota without him even knowing about it. He is a stickler for writing down his fuel mileage every fill up. I just spent the next few weeks sneaking out and looking in his lil log book every other day or so. He noticed nothing. But did jot down that it had developed lil hesitation he needed to look into. So thats when I removed it.
