Turbonator?
Anyone hear of this? I saw it in the Sponsored Ads section of the forum.
I visited their site at
www.turbonator.com and wasn't sure if it's just snake oil or if it's another air foil

"ten times more horsepower per dollar than any turbocharger or supercharger"
Wow, maybe we could stack them, two or three of em and your honda will click off 9's in the quarter. Gotta love marketing.
damn, they already beat me to that idea...
"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."

Also says that gas mileage increases... if I get 25 mpg on the highway, according to their "independent studies" I'll get something like 32.5 mpg (30% increase).
