Supercharge your car for $69.95?
I see this advertised on this site. Supercharge your XB for $69.95 and you will gain 35 hp and increase your gas mileage 31%. Has anybody done this? And if you have did it work. I am very skeptical about this.

It's the one on the bottom of this website that advertises Increase Gas mileage. If you can't see it. Than look at www.turbonator.com I'm just curious about it because scionlife is advertising it.

OK, Now I see what you're talking about. It's the "Turbinator" from late night TV fame...
What it is as a stationary set of stamped metal vanes that disrupt the airflow in your intake to get it kind of 'swirling' on it's way to the engine, and allegedly by doing this mixes it better with the gas...
While developers of race engines and intake systems for same go to sometimes extreme lengths to make the airflow as smooth and un-disturbed as possible on it's way into the engine, this device does exactly the opposite.
I'll let y'all make up your OWN minds as to who might be right there... :D

Just think if you ever caught a small animal in your intake it would be "Chopped, diced, sliced, minced and mixed all in one easy step. Now you may ask yourself "Ron Popiel do I really need the 'small critter mince maker 2000 in my car?' I say YES. Once you use the Mince maker 2000 you will notice a HUGE increase in horses consumed per mile.... and 'Chics dig it"
The only time I would put something like that in my car would be to keep would be intake valve thiefs out, that'll cut um up and they won't come back!
I should have added this to my list of 'Fantasy horse power makers" along with "The fuel atomizer" and oil catch can I know there was another one....

Accually it's on a crapload of sites. Remember X10 cameras? How about 900 Classmates.com ads. This one is teamed up with Google. It's spreading like cockroaches.! BTW the ADS at the bottom of this page are generated by google.
