Turbonator

I am not looking for a Forced Induction setup but I was wondering if these are any good or just a waste of money?

Before you have a question about something... try Google it first or use the forums search features. But to answer your question, they only performance that you may see will come from having a lighter wallet when you are driving your "turbonated" car.

Those turbonator things don't work on our type of intake, they are mostly for cars that have a rounded intake tube all the way along. also if there is more than like 1 bend after the turbonator the affect is lost anyways, they work on fords though, lol

I want to turbonate my car bitches. When I get my custom turbonator, i'll be pushing 120 whp more than stock. It will be like the twincharged setup only better because I will have the TURBONATOR!!!

Dude, where did you get a Super Duper Charger for only $50? At autozone they are like $75 which is WAY to rich for my blood. I guess I better start saving.
