i've seen similar things like this before and they've all been crap. notice on the FAQ page, how everything involving the product is "can" do this and "can" do that. never once do they claim it will produce more horsepower, or will yield better gas mileage. again further down it compares the HP/$ factor against a Vortec supercharger. so they say all the turbonator needs to do is produce 3 hp to be more cost efficient then the s/c. and above that it says that you're results "will probably" be less then the advertised 20-35 hp. so all in all, don't waste ur money. always read into things like this before purchasing. and good job on askin' us before purchasing this thing. hope this helps!

Its all bs. Eventually that plastic rotor will break into pieces and end up as lunch for your pistons.

HP cost money and as long as you understand that you will never buy something that adds none.

tested on a dyno. cost 10hp in the best of cases on FI cars. reduces your effective inlet diameter. that's exactly how you would approach removing hp... fancy that.
