I only gained 27HP after installing it, so I sent it back for a refund

ok I am just going to say this. I know these are a joke in the car world, but why? I know that if it where to boost any real amount you would have to add fuel via an FMU, but I have never seen why this would be considered such a joke. That being said I am not about to head out and buy one just for ***** and giggles.

I'm curious to see if it would help increase the volume at which the nitrous and fuel are introduced threw IM then Cylinders that will allow for a better burn more air more power. The nitrous guys should try this little product and see if they are any gains.

Because the Tornado turbonator whatever you call it's design is to increase velosities to allow more air into the engine say if your spraying a 75shot it will increase the spray charge thus will be more efficient for a higher shot. very logical you can also make this product yourself with a few pieces of sheet metal if you can gain more than 5whp I think it's worth it.

If you run a wet kit that tornado thing will probly increase the chance of puddling in the intake manifold. Explain to me again how something that restricts the path of the incoming air increases its velocity again?

By spinning the air of course! Sheesh.

Have you guys ever seen the commercials for tornadoair?

The guy sets up a "scientific" experiment with a tube and a fan attached at one end. Apparently, when air just gets sucked down the tube, the fan doesn't spin. When he puts the tornado thing on, the fan starts to spin. I wonder how retarded you'd have to be to not realize the con....

the spray charge has nothing to do with increasing nitrous power, that is a power all its own. but i did try it and it did nothing for me. it is almost like a velocity stack that stillen provides with its air filter kit. if your stock and looking for as few hp then this is the product for you.

Give Maxpower a break, he's not the first one who asked about this, he's probably new to the mod world. Just so you know the turbonator or whatever it's call does nothing except ripping people's money, it's like putting an hair dryer and duck tape it into you intake do you think it will make hp... Obvisouly not, the air dryer cannot create enought cfm to generate boost.

A good conecpt.... ONLYif your intake and intake mainfold were a straight shot. AND you didn't have valves.

All this will take that nice spiral design that makes air flow faster... and stops it. Let the combustion chamber design create all the turbulence you need.
