Tornado

Does anyone have a tornado gas saver on their car? I kinda figured this would be a good way to get some extra power and save some gas especially for us poor college students.

Just think about this...

We get intakes to open up major restriction that our stock intake piping and air box leaves us with.. ..by putting another major restriction in the path of which that air flows... hows does that make your car faster......hmmmmmm

it doesn't work. my old boss bought 2 of them and tried them on 2 different dodge trucks. both different engines. neither one showed any improvement. the one i installed for him and have experience with was the big engine (not diesel) 2003 truck, which still got around 7-8mph after the tornado was installed. and if that big inefficient engine shows no improvement, then how would a well designed toyota engine benefit from something that basically does nothing? spinning the air will not add horsepower. what a load of crap. sure it might flow better until the throttle body, but from there on it just gets all tossed around in the intake manifold anyway. i really tried to give the tornado the benefit of the doubt for that big dodge truck but it really let us down. so i do not recommend it. especially scion owners. the tornado is expensive. spend that money on a cold air intake designed for our cars and see some real improvement that is actually noticeable.

I've just finished with my latest project. I did all the R & D on this product myself, and testing was a _____ but its finished now. Basically its a piece like something that you would have gotten from a education store when you were little. Kinda like putting the ends of 2, 2 liter bottles together and spining it until the water from one bottle transfers to the empty bottle underneath, in a funnel like "tornado" formation. Basically what I have done is created that same effect right next to the fuel pump. This new and exciting product pushes a huge amount of fuel to over run your pump and fuel pressure regulator, while flooding your motor with fuel. And all of you guys know that more fuel + more power.

4 easy payments of 99.99

It includes:

Bottle cap
4" of silicon hose
3 multi-colored tie wraps..

Please pm me if interested, they are going fast!! Free shipping for the first 8 orders
