Nice big print and more likely a wanting your money hype.

You want true performance that is proven; go to the performance threads on MCO. These are the people that know and test their products.

Did I miss something here... Did they say it fits the 1990 non-turbo model in their auction?

Look at his feedback. His first item was 9/11 video without
any contribution to the charities. What a guy? :evil:

Take a look at http://www.tornadoair.com. Silly web site and embarassing late night informercials... but we have have Tornados on 3 modified cars (Acura, VW, BMW) and have felt butt-dyno increasese (alas, no hard number).

Note, I already drove down to Tornado to have them install one in our Monster Mini intake on our MCS... only to have them explain why it won't work on a supercharged motor due to the airflow pattern (I'm not a technical giant, to say the least, or I would have figured that out before driving there).

Anyway, a Tornado would work on a Cooper and at $70 could be the cheapest source of a small increase in power that one could find.

Not, an "ad"... just a prompt to check 'em out.
