Question Has anyone installed the "Tornado" on their engine?

I want to install a "Tornado" between the throttle body and mass airflow sensor. The maker of the Tornado does not make a product especially for a 2004 3.8ltr; so i was wondering if any of you gear heads had tryed using the measurment method that the manufacturer recommends.I basically just wonder if it will install because of the limited space in the inlet hose and if you were sucessfull ; did ya get the mileage up any?

Don't waste your money. Several members have tried these and found them to be of no use for fuel mileage or performance.

Yep, the Tornado is useless. $70 for a $.50 piece of stamped stainless steel is a goldmine if you can convince people it works.

Can you spell SNAKE OIL, HOG WASH, OR JUST PLAIN BULL
Or do you just want to throw your hard earned money away?
