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. |
I am going to agree with Flynnt..
|
LMAO i have seen something similar to this called the tornado or something like that.

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.

I would go with NO!
|
This ones an oldie

I gained at least 57 hp with mine. She does the quarter in 11.07 nowfingers:
|
lol.... that thing is funny...
40 bucks for a lil peice of metal to put in your intake piping... |
i think it's a great marketing gimmick... i bet a lot of people fell for it...
|
I put something similar to this in my explorer, foget the exact name, i
got it off e-bay, i did notice a slight increase in gas milliage but nothing huge, i only paid $16 for mine. |
I have nothing to say. just, its a Waste of money.
|
I think I'm going to buy a pop can and cut some fins into it and see if it gives me any hp.
|
it'll do you about as good as that thing...
|
I installed three in series in the intake, and one in the exhaust, since it's durable stainless steel.
Now I have to baby the throttle. Otherwise when I step on the gas, my tires rip the asphalt off of the road and send it into low orbit, and I have to pull over every 50 miles to dump out some of the gasoline that keeps overflowing out of my tank. |
lol
worst product ever! |
