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 ***** 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.
