they added some bends to it and they think it's going to be better?? there's going to be even more restriction now... what a bunch of losers.

Did anyone use old or new version of this crap? In theory, it should work. When you think about it...

Even in theory it can not work.

The idea of inhibiting your intake is just bad.

Why do you think people put smooth metal aftermarket intakes on their cars and remove the factory intake? A smooth intake allows for better air flow.

Anything that CAUSES turbulance in the intake is GOING to reduce performance and fuel economy.

There was an article in Popular Science 2 or 3 months ago listing all the things that claim better fuel efficiency and performance, and every single one, including the turbonator and those gas line magnets either did nothing at all, or made the car worse.
Each time, the cars were dyno tested with and without the items installed, and each time, they turbonator made the car worse. The gas magnets did nothing at all.
Fuel economy was also tested, and again, the turbonator made it worse.

There is no possible way that air that is swiriling inside the intake can do ANYTHING inside the combustion chamber. ANY vortex or air movement created prior to the intake valves WILL be stopped and changed to the swirl pattern made by the valve inlet shape and the angle of entry into the combustion chamber.

In some cases, the turbonator broke apart inside the intake causing damage to the intake valves, pistons and cyllinder walls.
I know I don't like the idea of loose metal getting crunched up by my car's engine.

Don't you think that if this was a real, working product that the auto manufacturers would already have something of this nature in factory production for every car?

i didn't know that "crap" had different versions

those things doesn't work, OK i never tried one before but theoretically it is basicly more restriction to your intake... also if a vortex is helpful for better combustion then you got to get a set of 8 much smaller turbonators and install them right before the intake valve... even then they will still restrict the air not to mention the amount of work to be dove vs the benefit of those things.

you see, the big one is mounted too far from the combustion chamber and by the time the intake are enters the cylinders the vortex effect have already faded inside the intake tube if the air flow is too slow (at low RPM) and at high flow the restriction will be greater than the vortex effect and make you lose power.

the bottom line is: don't buy this crap. period.

you'd be better off to put 4 tiny ones in your header. you can then use smaller tubing and increase the temp and squeek some ponies out...

boy what a waste of time
