Question Yet another eBay gadget... what's the word on these things?

Whats the word on these things?

eBay gadet

Is an extra 31% MPG and 16% Hp really possible by spinning the air into the injector?
Wouldn't this cause a permant CEL?
Anyone use one of these have any news on these?

Thats just a rip off of the Tornado. It's total and uter horse fecal. DO NOT even consider that as a real upgrade.

The person who is trying to sell that pYle should have there weak ass metal bending skilzzz hand broken so they can't produce more crap like this.

No offence bro but...HIT THE SEARCH BUTTON NEXT TIME.

I'm sick of hearing about such garbage.....





P.S. Sorry about the rant.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the Turbonator and it's friends reared their ugly heads again... Useless noise, Pretty much unless you make a tornado box for fun, lol.

i like how they say "If you leave negative feedback, we will leave negative feedback on your account and notify ebay of your harrasment" or something like that... classic... anyone that tells you they'll give you 16% more HP for 15 dollars is straight up stupid... and anyone that believes that.... well...

Ha! You always see on the feedback "Doesn't increase MPG" The seller replies "message us, only installed one week, give it some time, contact us for hints"

why the hell would you need "hints?"

the theory behind it COULD be correct, but putting anything in the intake tract is going to do more damage than good.
on carb engines, there is something simmilar, look up a venturi. i think the best thing to get this effect is a throttle body spacer....and i have one, so speaking from experience, it did dick all.

didnt i tell you that before you even bought that damn spacer. the damn thing is useless till you get some nitrous.

ebay can be good if you know what you are buying, but theres some things on there that can **** up your engine royally.
