don't be that guy its a scam. All the horsepower increase comes from adding the recommended K&N filter.

Rip off millions of people with a $.12 piece of metal while racking up tons of cash....sounds like a plan!

ripoff = true (cuz it doesn't really give u any HP improvements)

but u gotta give it to the inventor of that product..., can't really hate on a guy/gal if they rack in the dough for such a small/stupid object.

refer to my first post. they recommend adding the turbonator and a k&n air filter. All the milage improvments and horsepower you would get by adding just the filter. Wise up man if it worked don't you think there would an AEM brand or APC or any other big company pumping them out

just passing through but couldnt resist asking a Q?
If this wink wink turbonator works a lil on a stock car giveing a increase on a graph wouldnt the affect on a much more high flow car with turbo give even more better results?

i work at Robotek Motorsports and we have a stack of flyers with kiechi the a.k.a(drift king) his picture on it actually recomending this tiny piece of metal.. it shows him pointing where he put the two of them on his car, one right in the filter and one on the end of the catalyst converter. and shows the graph on a turbo car .The air flow of a turbo car with already better flow do too custom intake and custom exhaust made another another 20% gain on more air flow with them stupid lil pieaces of metal. Basically what im thinking is more flow more horse power? "hmm maybe i should test this out with my soon too be 240(s13)on a dino". Right now im just saving money.
what do u guys think about this soo far?
