    yea...they say it increases your HP by like 5million % and crap like that but it really doesn't do anything at all and has been known to make you lose power...definitely avoid it like the clap

    supposedly it is an electronic air intake but it looks even cheesier than that.

    i see, i would have never even considered it until i saw the 100% money back guarantee on their site. I thought it was kind of janky that they didnt really show pictures of the product a whole lot, so if thats ruled out, then what about this?

    My absolute favorite thing on that site is the following:

    Better Gas Mileage: The Turbonator allows your engine to burn fuel more fully and efficiently, resulting in MPG gains as high as 31%. It pays for itself in no time.

    --

    hehe last time i checked... the more air i added the more my gas mileage went down? LOL

    (however, putting in a manual trans upped my mileage a little bit, which is awesome)

    notice how everything is "up to" meaning they don't promise you will get X amount in hp, but its possible to get "up" to X amount. Those tricky bastards ;)
