I wonder how much those things actually slow the air down? I mean come on, you lucky guys with EFI can drill a hole in the airbox and get performance gains. I bet if you stuck one of those in your truck it would be like stock again.

im gong to order 3, and put them all inline with eachother, so that my air spins three times as fast, that means i will get fuel mileage increase of 15mpg right? Or is it exponential?

Your runner will actually start to manufacture gas by sucking polution out of air and spinning out the gas-o-lisious goodness. You will have to go to the gas station to empty your tank

Dude, you could get the same performance increase of 8 inline with only using 4, but then reducing the weight of your 4runner by using lightweight synthetic turn signal fluid. And remember, all this air in has to go out somehow, so you better upgrade your muffler bearings and header sprockets.

I was working on my Son's Firebird the other day, which we just bought a couple of months ago. I noticed the Air Hose from the air cleaner to the intake was loose - and not mounted quite right. I see something that is keeping the intake hose to connect properly. WHen I removed the hose entirely - what do I find inside... You guessed it - a Turbonator.. There is a sucker born every day.
Once I removed the Turbonator - the hose fit properly. No telling how much dirt the engine sucked in while the hose was halfway on.

"It is made entirely from stainless steel. It requires no maintenance, and, it only takes 5 minutes and a screwdriver to install. If you don't feel comfortable installing it, have your mechanic do it for you. If he doesn't install it for free, find a new mechanic."
great advice!

I don't know how you guys can knock this thing. I mean a doctor said it worked, what more do you want. 
"I purchased two Turbonators and definitely noticed the increase in power. I placed one in my Chrysler Sebring and immediately noticed the increase in power. It was more than I expected. I am already noticing the improved gas mileage. I like them so much, I am ordering two more for my brothers. Now, it feels like my car has a turbo charger." - Dr. Brian Coyle (San Jose, CA)
