Turbonator???
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
i don't believe it.
Well, you never know until you try it. That would be a cool test to do, get a g-tech or the like and do back to back hp runs, or even better-use a chassis dyno. Could work I guess, but I'm still skeptical.

Waste of money.
Claims to swirl the air... the air still has to travel through the intake, throttle body, which has a plate that swivels horizontal/vertical and anywhere in between which will stop that swirling air, if it even reached the plate in the first place. After that it goes through your intake manifold, heads, valves, intake chamber.
By the time you account for all of that, the product has done one thing, weight reduction... in your wallet.
Also, if you read their disclaimer, it says this:

Claims relating to horsepower are based on user feedback from Turbonator owners as well as users of products within the turbonator class of products referred to here and throughout turbonator.com as non-moving vortex generators. Horsepower gains will vary based on a number of factors including the type of vehicle, the age of the vehicle, and other aftermarket changes made to the vehicle. No representation is being made that any particular vehicle and driver will or is likely to achieve gains in horsepower or fuel efficiency similar to those reported by previous customers. In fact, subsequent users may experience sharp differences in the performance they achieve as compared to those results previously reported.

Save your money dude. There is no such thing as a cheap way to boost HP. All that thing will do is restrict your air flow. Also when you think about it, all it is doing is swirling the already warm air in a different direction. The cheapest and surest way is to get a CAI. Even then it will not be a huge gain.
