Bogus Turbo?
This isn't a turbo: it's a cheapo supercharger! Anybody actually tried this thing?
It looks like it's just a fan stuck on the intake! Anybody made one of these out of a desk fan? Let's have some opinions, both knowledgeable and ignorant! Flunky http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6770

Looks like a leaf blower attached to the intake. I think it is BS just like the electric supercharger and the tornado...all gimmicks if you ask me.

I've never heard of the tornado! What is it?
Flunky PS-Maybe we could make one out of a vacuum cleaner motor! Just get a DC/AC converter, and WHHHHHMMMM!!!! Let's make one that REALLY sucks!

I don't know about the Tornado in particular, but I did have an '83 Suzuki GS750 E. It had "TSCC", which stands for Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber.
Something about the shape of the intake caused the air to swirl, which helped the fuel to mix better with the air, making the mixture more explosive. Creating a vortex would help create some power. I doubt that anything short of a completely redesigned intake manifold could truly achieve this, though. Flunky Now, back to insulting the Bogus Turbo!

the Tornado and having like a High Swirl Combustion engine or anything else wtih "Swirl" are totally different. the torado says it does hte same thing but it is an air restriction, except in carbed cars, it does help.
