Yeah, thats why we're sayin there's no reason it should work. All it does is block air from getting in the throtle body

i just called turbo zeta delta, and they said if you buy one within the next 365 days it would be only 36 easy payments of $20 plus s+h. but here's the real deal, you also get 2 (not 1, but 2 ) bridges. altogether you'll get the feel of a 33% hp gain.

proud owner of a turbo zeta delta, "it feels soooo much faster, especially with the bridges. thanks turbo zeta delta, i could've never went this fast without you."

a lot of people probably seen em or heard about em. Its a little turbine type thing that goes in the MAF thats suppose to increase power and save fuel. The thing is that I didnt really believe in that crap. But my uncle was over our house and he bought two of them a little while ago...he installed one on his Chevy Venture (the van) and said he notices a much better throttel responce and some fuel saved. His wife owns a 99 G20, and he is going to install it on hers soon, and tell me what improvements it had. Why I am saying is that I heard a lot of talk about this thing before and not many liked them...and I just had proof that it did work. But ill see what happens after he puts it in the G20. later

Well, it may work on other vehicles but I sincerely doubt it would make any difference on a G20. Besides, anything in an infomercial is usually here today gone tommorrow.

That is true. I got the George Foreman Grill but I bought it at Walmart for $70 instead of $100. So please let me clarify: Anything in an infomercial pertaining to cars is usually here today gone tomorrow. Ex:Slick 50, Duralube and most other products that have the usual claims of:
1)improving gas mileage
2)improving perfomance
3)reducing friction/wear
4)saving you money over some longa$$ period of time.
So there. :toothless

That is true, I am usually laughing at those while watching TV and eating rotisserie chicken.

I don't mean to nitpick but I've always heard it was more like 10.000-15,000rpms. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong....

Called the placebo effect. if you just blew $150 bucks on a couple of
Tornado's for your cars you would be highly sensitive to proving to
yourself your were not a big time dummy for buying it in the first
place. So you 'feel' increase in power and performance.
If mentally you want it to work, then it works. This one is almost a
laugh of a scam. It is proven
fact that high volume DENSE cool air increases power the best. Thats
why they have turbo's and intercoolers. Save your money. Get
a supercharger and have some fun.

Well, I can sorta see how it would work if it was powered, like if it was an actual fan in the intake pipe, but all it does is "spin" with the already incoming air. all that would do is slow the air down or restrict air from entering.

yeah- uhhhhhh fan in intake pipe...

hrmmmmmm...

i would piss in my pants laughing so hard if one of the blades off the fan broke off and got sucked into your engine...

bwaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! !!!

well- i might shed a tear or two because it sucks to see another g20 go down- but- hehe- i'd start laughing again after remembering how it happened...

oh- here's a thought - on the matter of intakes and such...

there's this WAY WAY WAY ghetto thing to do to increase your hp...

just take your stock box out- and fold over a pair of panty hose over the hole and let that filter your engine... i bet the power increase would be phenomenal!!!!!!!!!



























j/k- i know it's not fine enough to filter out real dust and stuff...

The Tornado is a scam. Ever heard of the RamAir system of the 70s? - air is forced into the carbs to create more power - it doesn't necessarily create better gas mileage.

Normally, a car's air induction takes in as much as 18,000 cubic feet of air in seconds. The way a car 'breathes' does create more power. Air filters, (and even the Tornado), small carbs, etc. restrict air flow.

Want more power without spending too much $$? Remove the OEM air filter and use a K&N filter. It works - i use K&N for my motorcycles and cars. Or better yet buy a 70s Dodge Charger and get a cheap 350HP ride!

As it rusts out from underneath you! 70's cars in good shape are not that cheap. Total cost of ownership is pretty high.

oh yah, that drop in k&n filter really did a number on my p11.... though i was gonna fall out of my seat when I accelerated.

careful with those K&N air filters...

i put one in and ripped up my tranny cuz of the power increase.

































just some gentle chiding.
