What's your opinion on the turbonator?

I am thinking on buying one ( www.turbonator.com ) and was wondering if any one have this or looked into it and what are your thoughts?
Don't be shy to give me a website for something you think is better for under 100 bucks!!
Thanks

It's crap. Doesn't work. If anything, it will restrict more airflow than allow it.

You'd get more satisfaction by taking that 100 bucks and going to a strip club, and getting a VIP lap dance.

Lol, none of those gas saver things do anything, if you need to waste $100 take CRJ's advice. Welcome to AF, try a search quick before you ask a question, this ones been talked about over and over.

Lol Thanks everybody. As you can tell I'm not car mechanically incline like the rest of you. I just figured I would get "real honest people's" opinions rather then that website bs (I seem to fall into that trap pretty easily). I'll look into a few other things and won't keep the strip club option out either. Thanks!!

Re: What's your opinion on the turbonator?

I thought about posting to mock CRJ and jake about how many I have and what cars wasted. But decided it would have gone to far that way.

as Mod'd Cavy said......its gay! Stripper idea is by far a lot more worth it than saving $ to buy a gas saver which doesn't save gas. By the way, what are you all paying for gas? Last I paid was $2.86 in Norfolk, NE a week ago.

Gas is down to $2.69-$2.54 depending on which station you go to. (northern MN)

Re: What's your opinion on the turbonator?

its meant for helping the air and fuel mix better. maybe better mpg but not a lot of hosre power. especialy for fuel injection. it doesnt realy matter just like spacers.

now i have a 90 cavalier and have overhead throttlebody injection and got a spacer with the spiral thread on the inside and it made a little little diference because it gave more time for the fuel and air to mix since my fuel is from the top of the butterfly. but for fuel injected cars they arent worth the dirt you walk on
