QUIMBO :mad :mad :mad :mad :U

Quimbo,

I apologize for sounding rather harsh. I see how I was implying that you didn't have a brain by purchasing it. When it first came out several years ago, I almost bought one for my '97 Prelude VTEC I had at the time. The website is fairly convincing, but after talking to a few engineering/science friends and asking around on the internet, I came to the conclusion that it is pure junk.

What I meant to say, is if anyone that thinks about buying it, just use your brain and think about it for a second. If a 50 cent piece of foil that spins round and round in your intake would have such a profound effect, then it was be standard equipment on EVERY car, but by thinking about it, it's just an impediment to the flow of air into the engine.

I don't know Tornado's exact money back guarantee, but you'll atleast eat shipping and maybe there is a restocking fee, I don't know. Either way, Tornado made out because the cost of their product is next to nothing.

I just get mad when people are taken advantage of, the same goes with all the scams out there now for losing weight, getting bigger breasts/penises, all the psychics on TV taking advantage of lonely, insecure people and charging them $4.99/minute. All this crap should be illegal, but it's not for now.

Again, I apologize for sounding harsh, but you got taken, I would return it immediately and try to get as much money back as you can. $70 isn't the end of the world, but it adds up. The reason I'm 25 and have a Corvette and a few other toys is because I saved/invested my money and didn't buy into scams that I was exposed to over the past several years. Take care, bud. :cheers: :cheers:

The Tornado uses the force of your incoming air to drive itself, that will cost you hp by slowing down your incoming air. There is nothing else left to say about it.

You know, if someone were so inclined they could just make their own out of an empty beer can and let us know the results. If you don't have the can you can have one of mine. I think a BudLight can would probably look the best, and when it doesn't work you can put it on a stick and have a whirlie!! :lol: :lol: :cheers:
