re: http://www.turbonator.com/
Turbonator sounds better!! :lol: :lol:
I'M not easily conned...
Anyone think this thing will really add more than even 2 HP?
It claims up to 35 ("results not typical"), I know this has to be a total bunch of crap.
How would this give you better gas mileage as it claims???
I would never buy this thing, I just want to hear some input from you guys, the other thing is, its a 30 day money back guarantee, except only in USA, i live in Canada, so I think im excluded, otherwise I would buy it and dyno test, and take it back if i didn't get more than 5HP, and better mileage..
thaks for you info..
ALSO where can I get my car Dyno'd (will canadian tire do it)??
how much should I pay, I wanna get a dyno to brag!!! (estimate 175hp, and the 185 torque is stock, wonder if thats up to 190)
- wear n tear, prolly around 180 lol |

I agree with BIGBLOCKOLDS, Its absolute BS! IF you were somehow able to fit it into the intake port right infront of the intake valve it might enhance combustion chamber swirl but more likely it will reduce overall air flow (AKA restriction) at higher rpm's and cause a power drop off.
BS plain and simple, a good way to make money off the uneducated though! |

very true, and I agree totally, but then why the 30 day money back guarantee??
(guess its a way of selling right)
then ppl think it works and keeps it, its all in their head right. |

Hi Bassboy53, hello all
If you ever get a chance to check in the back of some '50s car mags, you'll find the same fan setup to mount under the carbs of the day, but they were called mini superchargers.
Quote: ..........why the 30 day money back guarantee?............. The cost of a few refunds are much less than the income generated by the advertised guarantee. Quote: ............its all in their head right.......... If one believes the sugar pill is a pain killer, the headache goes away. It's called the "placebo effect".
The other mindset that keeps people like these in business is the reluctance of people to admit they've been "scammed".
Regards, Norm |
