      turbonator

      i found the turbonator and it made me raise an eyebrow. i remember people telling me about how the vortec head will make air spin to increase performance of combustion. or how a cowel induction hood will create a vacuum causing air to spin like a vortex which fed the carburetor air fast and also increased performance.

      AVEOSAM: i noticed you made a comment about the turbonator in a post to aveogyrl. and that was about the end of it ... so i know you'll have something to say lol. and ne body else i want some input on this...since i'm pretty sceptical that 40 bucks can add as many ponies as they claim. for those of you that don't know about it...

      turbonator

      edit: also i'm assuming it won't do ne thing since i just read up on the e-tec II head and apperantly it already creates the "swirl" from the air intake.

      Ah HAhAhhAHA....Install one if you like, it won't do ****. There is so much stuff in the way of a vortex for it even work....When it's too good to be true, then it prolly is.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      I've known some people personally that said it works, other's that have said it's crap. But I haven't used it myself yet. My cousin had one and it screwed up his car though (I think he probably chipped off a part and it went into his intake)

      isnt the whole thing supposed to mimic how a cai works from the cone filter, swirling air into the intake?

      ::shakes head in disappointment:: not this crap again, one of the forums rules should be banning of anyone mentioning the turbonator....the only people who say it works are the dumbass who buy it and realize they got scammed....

      and from my sig: B, final answer
