Anyone see this yet? It looks pretty hokey to me, but I don't know anyone who has one, I'm just skeptical of a "miracle" product that a tween can install during the commercial breaks of Lizzy McGuiar. But if half the stuff this quack claims is true, then this thing would pay itself off pretty quickly, especially with gas prices as they are. Reeks of a cheaply laid scam to my nose, though. Anyone hear any good/bad feedback about these things?

car companies spend millions designing and testing intake manifolds. There is no way an old computer fan lodged in the intake tract will increase mileage and power

Snake oil. Definately.
Kinda reminds me of the whole "slick 50" scandal. Put this in your engine and get more horsepower! Meanwhile, it is breaking down and raw PTFE is clogging your oil passages.
I never buy any auto part from a popup, or tv. :notnice:

"Can I use more than one in my vehicle?

Yes, in Fuel Injection/E.F.I. vehicles, up to three Turbonator's™ have been installed by automotive enthusiasts that race their vehicles."

Rock On! I'm ordering Three!!!!!




Seriously, I don't think that's real. Unless someone RESPECTED comes out and says it work, I can't imagine it doing anything productive.
