stay away from it, its just a waste of your money. Only thing those things do is stir up the air which i would think would hurt you on power. An actual turbocharger pressurizes the engine which gives you the hp (in which more air and more fuel equals more power), and a turbonator does not.

Yes I see that the name of the product is quite misleading...to say the least.
I do know that more turbulence of the air does make a difference in Carb'd engines, would it not have the same effect with EFI?
I think they are basing the gains on the way the air can then mix with the fuel. Better atomization.

you would probably have bettery luck with an s-afc for fuel atomization than the turbonator

I would rather stick a blow dryer into my intake pipe than putting the wutever turbonator thing.

Not exactly, although equally worthless. The tornado fuel saver is a stupid piece of metal that you put into your intake pipe and it spins freely creating a spiral 'tornado' effect.
The turbonator is an electric turbo or something like that...run off battery power.

Haha, that's funny. It works on the same general principle as the Tornado thing and all the other electric superchargers and crap you see out there. Swirls the air or whatever to somehow increase flow and cleaner combustion, yada yada yada. They're all crap and not worth anything.
