The Turbonator is much less expensive and more efficient than any turbocharger, supercharger, blower, or intercooler.

BS...IMO...

If I remember the study done on it a while back. They saw no change in performance or gas milage. In fact some where slightly reduced. You are putting a restriction in airflow pattern. One reviewer even suggested that some of the more flimsy designs could be dangerous for your engine in the event a vane broke off.

The swirling air just gets chopped back up inside the intake manifold when its split among the cylinders. Your probably better off just doing a TB port.

That IS the most BS quote EVER. If they are trying to compair the efficiency of a passive air restrictive device to a turbo which uses wasted energy to increase power and compression (which also increases efficiency of the gas being burned).. Is out of their farking mind.

First off, it's not gonna make you go much faster.
It might improve/decrease your gas mileage a wee bit, but thats about it.
I definatley wouldn't buy it for $60, thats for damn sure.

It'd be nice if it was true. But no. Just spend the extra $2940 for a real turbo.

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.

there is a reason that every one of the companies making those things has a lawsuit against them for false advertising, and fraud (the tornado has states going after them)

Imagine getting 35 hp from a piece of air restricting plastic for your intake, but only getting around 5 hp from an aftermarket air intake system or maybe 7 for a CAI. That is the funniest thing i have ever heard.
