If it really worked we would all know that but since we don't it likely is crap. On the other hand it is only $70. so buy and let us know how it works or (likely) doesn't.

Big waste of money IMO. I made the mistake of believing the hype and bought one my milage actually suffered used it in my '00 cavi If you must try one though buy it at PEP Boy's, Auto Zone Or Checker and keep your receipt make's it eaiser to get your money back than mail order But if I were you I'd save my $ and buy a CAI

Those things are useless.
They claim to "spiral the air", but by the time it travels through the intake tube, into the throttle body (which may or may not be partly closed), through the intake manifold, and then into the engine, its not exactly spiraled anymore
So basically, don't buy it

Seems too good to be true, 69,95$ to Supercharge a car and add 35HP, only in heaven my friend. Also if you ask me the entire add page looks sketchy too.

Maybe if you use it with the spinner exhaust tip you can skip the whole super/turbo charging stage. Just kidding man, those things are pretty much useless when it comes to any type of performance gain.

Okay... Call me a dumb ass or something. I bought one of these Turbnators off of E-Bay. (I purchased before reading this post) I payed 19.95 + shipping. After installation I noticed that my Cobalt "felt" alittle more powerful. I don't think it helped much in the power catagory, but I am getting about 3 more mpg's now. (34.3 avg) So maybe there is an advantage to installing it.

those things are kinda like a sugar pill in a drug effectivness test....you think you will get better gas milage so you don't stomp it all the time so you do get better gas milage or if you buy it for performance you end up pushing your car harder and it seems better...you guys are right about creating "turbulant" air before the throttle body...It dosen't do crap, now if you get a throttle body spacer with a spiral mill to it that can give you 5 hp and if you know people who work in milling then you could get one made for about 15 bucks.

If I have a passenger can I do a Twin Super Duper Turbo NOS'ER Booster setup...or would I have to beef up internals?

It's not a placiebo. I installed one approximately 4 weeks ago, I am getting a true 3mpg increase. I drive my Cobalt hard(right foot is heavier, than left!), I have been tracking my gas mileage to see if there was any improvement, and yes there was! Maybe some of you guys should do alittle research about what you are talking about.
P.S. .......DanJHartman your f&c*ing drawing is retarded!
