turbinator

Anyone try that turbinator that's being advertised on here. I'm skeptical, just wondering if anyone has any first hand knowledge.

All I want to say is "Are you Kidding Me," no way will some piece of spiral metal will give you any gains. I would rig up a leaf blower to my intake before I would pay 50 bucks for that

If you look at a PAW catalog, you will find thigs like the Turbinator to give you hp gains by producing "whirlpools of air" to better atomize the fuel/air mix, increasing performance and mileage. On the VERY NEXT PAGE are devices that will "smooth out" the fuel/air mix, eliminating vorticies and resulting in a nice smooth flow of air/fuel mix providing performance and mileage increases.

No, neither one will help.

If you want to see some gains, the easiest thing to do is open up the intake and exhaust to achieve a better intake charge and better scavenging out the back.
