Turbonator??

free2roamaz · #1 02-19-2005, 11:32 PM

Ok. I just saw an advertisement for The Turbonator. I am just wondering if it is something worth throwing down 70$ for, or is it just a big dud. If it is something actually worth while, does it worth in co-op with aftermarket intakes (CAI)?

I saw this too, it seems like the "tornado" but not sure if it would be effective with other after market upgrades(cai, turbo, intercooler). here's the link. Let's get some educated guesses guys

i would say dont waste your money on it

millerkiller · #6 02-20-2005, 01:39 AM

I agree. It seems like probably a waste. but hey, never hurts to ask

Prowler87 · #7 02-20-2005, 02:27 PM

true...i mean i wouldn't buy it... even if it does work it just seems like a cheap piece of crap

Turbonator? Just like the tornado fuel saver and the good 'ol splitfire plugs. Snake oil.

Lol. Thats all I needed to know. If its this well known, and the specs are just as known then I will venture to guess its a waste. That and I am willing to bet the 30 day money back gaurantee will take you at least 3 months plus to fight all the paper work and subtle details. If someone has a personal experience with it, feel free to give your imput.

dont buy it!!
i bought one for my RX7 and it aint worth shit!!!
when i returned it (money back warrany) they charged me like $20 re-stocking fee.
NOT WORTH IT

dont get it. if you do the calculations, those things couldnt keep up with the amount of air a gokart requires.

hahahah what junk.. and teh sad part is that people buy this stuff

free2roamaz · #13 02-23-2005, 06:05 PM

Thank god for this forum. Otherwise I would have been one of those people dumb enough to go out and buy it. Then again I buy the filet knifes off QVC because they cut through steel. JUNK!! Thanks for the info guys.
