Has anyone tried these turbonators?
 
They claim to give you 3-6hp and better gas mileage. Also they are super cheap.

It is so silly that I wouldn't elevate it to the level of snake oil. Best case scenario is you waste under $20, worst case is that it breaks apart and gets sucked into your Turbo or engine. Some rocket scientist on Amazon claimed 50% gains. LOL

this will do nothing but actually rob power as your are adding a restriction(it takes power to spin a fan being powered by the intake) and probably break apart and lodge pieces of metal in your engine.

You should try adding magnetic balls to your fuel tank to energize the fuel....
For an upcharge, you can get platinum plated ones that help make you fuel burn better....
And did I mention I own a bridge in NY city I would like to sell you?!
As I hope you can tell from our responses, the "turbonator" is a scam...no matter how "cheap" it is...

Since they are super cheap and give 3-6 hp, tape a bunch of them together and you'll get like 50 hp.

Put the Ebay down and slowly step back.
