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

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.

Re: Turbonator

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.
