I get it! The air magically swirling right through the throttle body, intake manifold, and heads. Since it swirls, that makes there be more of it to burn more fuel to make more power...except it burns less to get better mileage at the same time. 
All this can be mine for only $69.99! Sweet!

"In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech."

Oh my god. They actually have the ***** to compare the "Turbonator" to a Vortech Supercharger. hahahahahahhaha
Quote:
How much more horsepower/gas savings can I get?
By enhancing fuel atomization the Turbonator produces increased horsepower and fuel economy. An emissions lab, licensed by the EPA conducted tests on vortex generators that produced results as high as 20 horsepower and 24% increases in mileage. Other independently conducted studies yielded results as high as 35 HP and 31% MPG. Twenty and 35 HP boosts are not typical. Your results with the Turbonator will probably, but not necessarily, be less. Just keep this in mind. A Vortech Supercharger kit for a 2004 Mustang that produces 155 HP boost costs $5,139.95. The Price/Performance ratio is $5,139.95/155HP = $33.16/HP. It costs $33.16 for every one horsepower it produces. All the Turbonator has to give you to beat the Vortech supercharger in termsj of it's price/performance ratio is 3 horsepower.

Um, they do work, but you can make them with sheet metal from Home Depot. I made
the mistake of buying 4 from a company called "Supercharge Any Car" It added about 20 hp through the intake and exhaust. You really cant compare them to FI, but the
units will compliment ANY gas powered application. You are limited to 1-2 in the intake
or the exhaust.

i like how they compare hp per dollar on the vortech comparison. typical ricer crap. "my engine makes 107hp, but it only weighs 34lbs, so my car is faster than yours "
what morons, someone should put like 12 of them on thier car just to do it
