Anyone used a Turbonator

[Karl3158]

As above, anyone got one or tried using one?

Sounds like a very in-expensive performance upgrade.

 

[Munson]

Interesting, but if it was that cheap/easy with good gains, would car makers not already use them?

 

[Manney]

What the hell is it !?!

 

[Karl3158]

Go to http://www.turbonator.com/WhatIsIt.htmlhttp://www.turbonator.com/WhatIsIt.html

Not sure why car manufacturers dont install them as standard.

not one of those stupid electric fan things you fit on the inlet pipework is it?

 

[night.icon]

It sounds like something that can be purchased on QVC

 

[McBunny]

oh ffs anyone who buys this or even thinks about it i will kill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Karl3158]

I beleive the fan works from air sucked in from the air filter/throttle body.

Cheap turbo charger solution.

 

[MATT BLACK]

[Turkish]

[McBunny]

its like the eco tek

"I have one and it works for me" no it doesnt you moron you just like sticking cheap tat on your car like yer average maccy ds carpark racer

 

[blink172]

Wall, Head, Bang, repeatedly.

 

[bsimmer3000]

the problem is it will probabley pull more current compared to what extra power gains it may give you. what a silly idea.

 

[McBunny]

it almost totally blocks the pipe lol

 

[martynh]

This looks like it works like one of those Ecotek things, that was rubbish as well by all accounts!

 

[vee6]

its a bloody good way of restricting your airflow into your engine !!! LMAO

 

[almaghrbi]

I tried it but it does not work. The idea is really good and should work in principal (make the air move in swirls and you should get better burnout) but I guess the product does not do that properly
