Has anyone tried the Turbonator? http://www.turbonator.com/index.html

Wondering, if it actually helps.

don't waste your time dude. it's all a scam. they even did a writeup on these in popular mechanics and showed it could badly damage your engine if the plastic pieces broke off and got sucked into your intake manifold.

Yeah I read the review of these types of contraptions in Popular Mechanics as well and they pretty much amount to snake oil at best and at worst could hurt the engine.

what exactly are you looking for? If you just want some more power, headers, a new cold air intake, and a underdrive/ligher crank pulley are your 3 main upgrades that give very good power - especially when a few are used together.
