Re: TURBONATOR!!! What u think?
Try a Forum search, you will find its been discussed several times, and the conclusion is its total and utter crap.


But then people will buy anything.

Re: TURBONATOR!!! What u think?
I've heard of two cases where it actually worked. One was a van, and the other was some car. A camaro I think.

Re: TURBONATOR!!! What u think?
i highly doubt this, camaros and vans use big engines, that means big airflow, if this little thing can't give any improvements to a civic, it surely can't do it to a camaro.
