Thumbs up Easy gain 15hp & increase gas milleage 24%

Should we give it a try?

Anyone hear about Tornado engine performance booster? They advertise TORNADO has been tested at an CARB licensed lab demonstrating more MPG (up to 24%) and more power (up to 15 HP). Here is how tornado work. Tornado is a non-moving turbine shaped device, which creates a vortex or swirling effect to the engine. The result is improved airflow into the engine's combustion chamber, causing a more efficient mixture between air and fuel.

From previous threads, I've been informed that the Tornado is useless for our cars, although it may improve peformance on hot rods.. I dunno. If somebody installs one of these, please let us know if there was any improvement in hp/mpg. A dyno would be great.

Will be the same as a small restriction in the intake,and I've been trying to avoid things of that nature,so I'll just have pass on that one.

It gives as much performance gain as the fake BOV speaker setup.

I tried this product and the only thing I noticed was that by turning the air it made the intake have a whining noise.

from what I hear this actually hinders performance by creating a disturbance for the air and making the intake area smaller so that less air can flow.

If you want to sell that POS contraption speak to the No2 monkey at my tyre house, he just bought an electric turbo and is convinced it makes his car faster.
