READ the installation of the 'turbonator' they recommend to add a k&n filter at time of install. Abetter filter will yeild the claimed improvments. IF this thing worked why wouldn't auto makers add this to the car. They are under federal standards for better gas milage and they could have a better car on the books by adding a $3 peice of metal if this worked. They don't use cuz it doesn't work. Try this if changing the way air folwed into the car then why isn't air intakes rifled it isn't cuz it doesn't make a darn bit of difference. PEOPLE WAKE UP AND SMELL THE B.S.

its says moeny back garenty..would they give that if it didn't work at all? it may not work awsome but does it do anything i mean just a few more miles per galon would make it worth it
cuz most people won't even know if it worked better or not, but they might think it does so they'll just leave it. even if they knew it didnt work, some people might not want to go to the time to return it etc. by offering a money back guarantee they dont risk losing any money, they'll still get their product back and be back at where they started.

My uncle mad one of these things out of a can of goya beans. Just cleaned it and cut slits into the bottom. Tilted the slits and stuck it in his minivan intake. Dont know if worked but didn't cost anything to try. Just make sure no stray pieces of metal fly in the engine.
