Yeah, it's a restriction that will cost you both power and MPG. Run, don't walk.

Yeah, just think of this, it hast to go through the air has to go through the TB and it would screw up the rotation. That is not the only reason it wouldnt work but that right there proves it to not work so dont bother

I tried it. The Tornado showed me slightly more off the line. Mileage didn't change AT ALL. I can suggest a way to save money right now! Don't buy the Tornado. There, you just saved yourself $75. BTW, I got my money back.

IMO, your imagination showed you slightly more off the line.

The tornado should be located in the same aisle as blinker fluid and muffler bearings.

those things may actually work in a engine that uses a single injector or two, but with multi point injection, its pretty much a waste and just something that might get ingested.

They do work slightly on very old fuel injection vehicles, but are totally worthless on anything modern.

Nope. I've been driving this car for 11 years. The difference was obvious.

gMAG...Don't kid yourself. No chance that POS does anything but disrupt airflow and kill mpg.

Dyno sheet? For a 93 Corolla? To me, that makes less sense than buying a Tornado. If you do not believe, then that is
YOUR choice.

LOL! Sorry, I didn't know we were talking about Corollas! Yeah, I'd believe just about ANY mod couldn't hurt a turd like that.
