The TORNADO.. DOES IT WORK?

[metalhedskater]

Has anyone ever heard of that engine performance booster called tornado and if it actually works or if its easy to install? Supposidely, the tornado increases gas mileage to 24% and increases 13hp. I dont know if this works, but if anyone has information on it let me know. I have an eclipse GST and i have an intake and exhaust, and i plan to install aftermarket BOV and a manual boost controller.

it dont work

u have an intercooler anyway, so u wont have any twirling action going on after it passes through it

thats true, and its been said 100 million times, lol, and i agree with it,but since you can call up the company and tell them the size of ur hose (or pipe in some cases), couldnt you order 1 the diameter of the piping AFTER the ic? man that wa a long sentence. anyway...or does it just not work period, even on nt cars?

Consider this. The tornado is there to "swirl" the intake air. The turbo dodge cars used to come from the factory with air straighteners to improve peformance...

1) I dont think its worth the effort for 13hp. This isnt a honda, its a DSM. Power is easy to make.

2) The fact that they try to say it works on all cars tells me they are incompetant douchenozzles (see dodge example).

3) At the airflow levels we see on turbo DSMs, given the size of out IC piping, anything you stick in there is going to be a restriction, and that equals a loss in power.

So, I would not recomend it based on my personal opinion

No...No...No...It does not work.

Just some of the billions of websites that say how bad this product is?
