Turbonator??

www.turbonator.com
Saw this on magazine. Says that $34.95 could incrase up to 55HP and 33% MPG.
Wonder if it really works.. Have anybody here tried this??

I was disappointed with mine. I only gained 36WHP and I only saw a 25% increase in MPG. Talk about false advertising.

It works great... right up until one of the little fins gets lodged in your throttle body and gets it stuck open so you can't stop, or worse, it goes into your engine and kills it.

This is the best part:

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.

Basically, find a dumb mechanic that thinks this would actaully work + have him do it for free?

The mechanic has to do it for free. If the mechanic bills you then a paper-trail will be created, and that will enable you to sue the mechanic when your engine seizes up.

More Power: 55 HP boosts are not typical. Your results with the Turbonator will probably, but not necessarily, be less. Just keep this in mind
