Turbonator

I was wondering if this turbonator thing really works and adds that much hosrepower. Does anybody know if or how much horsepower it adds.

Re: Turbonator

hahah I did their fun "savings calculators" and even those are messed up!:
HP Calculator

How much horsepower does your vehicle have? 360 (i guessed at crank not RWHP)

With 10% more horsepower, your vehicle will have 396.00HP
With 20 more horsepower, your vehicle will have 380 HP
With 35 more horsepower, your vehicle will have 395 HP

They dont list 20 and 35 at percent.. they just add it.. hehe so that means the 10% hp gain would be the most you would get even though they say 35%.. those people are crooked.. I wouldnt deal with them ever..

I have a friend who was going to buy three of them and was |this| close to buying them. He actually believed they were turbochargers.

Re: Turbonator

Buy 4, run them with a tornado air and a fuel atomizer and you'll see some great gains. Install with left handed wrenches and make sure to run synthetic blinker fluid.

And remember to go with Royal Purple. I took a picture of what you'll need to look for.

Re: Turbonator

That's probably one of the best ricer accessories. Right up there with faux carbon fiber wings and fart pipes.
