ya, me n my friends wanted to know so like 10 of us got 1

chipped in, it doesnt do anything

frankly it blocked air, in my opinion, its supposed to make the air move faster and spin, but it felt like the air was being blocked

They offer a money-back guarantee if you take the time to uninstall it and ship it to them and get an RMA first and get them to believe you, etc. If they sell one, they probably can get 4 returned and still make money. That's the bottom line.

There is no way moving air around in the intake is going to increase power. It all gets straightened out by the butterfly in the throttle body anyway. All it can do is impede airflow.

No, I haven't tried one and will never. For me to want to try it, I would have to see unbiased dyno results before and after with no other changes. There are none, I have looked because this question comes up once a week. When something really works, there is no problem finding dyno results because everyone starts using it. Find a serious racer who isn't paid by those Turbonator people and uses that thing. Never heard of one.

Testimonials ain't worth the electrons it took to send them. Talk is cheap. The real test is who is really using it and wins races.

yup good choice, no one should get one, sending it back i'd think you'd lose money going thru the BS to return it

if you guys were wondering how me and my friend tested it, first we used a fan, a computer case blower, hair drier, and then installed it and felt for a difference

in all the tests it felt like the air was being slowed down, not sped up like it claims
