Turbonator

Has anybody added this product to their car. Check this web site out, just wandering if it really works.

With the way gas prices are going this would be a great thing, on top of adding more punch to my car

All of these things are crap! Blower motors on the intake, metal spiral thingys that go in the intake tubing, and magnets in various locations are all crap! If Acura or any other automobile company could increase mileage and boost power by putting a $2.00 piece of stainless steel in the intake tubing or a vent blower on the intake tubing they would have already done it. That goes for all those other gimmicks too. If anything that thing will make a car run worse because of the pumping losses associated with pulling air through it. The only spot where the air needs to be turbulent at all is where the air mixes with the fuel, not 3 feet down the intake path where a throttle plate would just disrupt the vortex anyways.

naw dudes... you got it all wrong. This could be the next best thing since the +75hp Type R badges. pfffftt oh man. Naw dude don't waste ur precious few dollars. Instead save it all up for something big like the best bolt on you can buy for your car, a UR pulley(which actually does improve hp to the wheels). Anything that cheap can't possibly do it.

If you're willing to spend that money, you're better off taking out the stock "snorkle" box and dropping a K&N filter in.
