Hey theres this site called turbonator.com and they say they will sell you a supercharger for any car for $70, for an averge horsepower gain of around 15 hp, I had been thinking of getting a supercharger for my 98 2.8 30v, and since the D2 Pes supercharger is a little out of my price rang at 5k. They say that I could put 3 superchargers on my car, do you think that putting 3 of these ify things on my car would be a good idea, or should I save and scrap for the D2.

From what I have read about this device, it seems to me that it will only rob horsepower.
The website states that "The Turbonator's airflow dynamics produces a swirling, fast-burn effect in the combustion chamber." Since the device is installed "inside your air intake hose, right after your air filter," I find it higly unlikely that this "effect" (if it even exsists in the first place) will make it past the butterfly valve and all the way down the intake into the combustion chamber without being dispersed.
I also assume it blocks alot of the airflow going through the intake to begin with.
At any rate, it simply cannot give you anywhere near the performance of a supercharger.
If I were you, I would try and contact someone who has tried this thing before you make any purchase.
