I have severe doubts that the turbonator will increase my hp by like 35. Does anyone know if it works or if it is a complete waste of money.

If you continue reading everything they listed on that site, you'll see that 35 was a guestimated number and it was only gained with a lot of other modifications...they say on average you'll get between 5-15 increase.

but it is a complete waste of money, it actually causes you to LOSE power.

it is a spiral razor cut peice of metal that goes in the intake hose attempting to immitate a turbo by forcing more air in. It does not give no 30 f'n hp but it does help i am sure of this, and most scams dont offer full money back guarantees..

actually most scams do so that you think they're real
they obviously fooled you
the difference you notice isn't in the engine, but between your left ear and your right ear.
