Spiral Max - Goes in your intake.

Turbonator - Sounds like the same thing as the above

Turbo Exhaust Tube - Bolts on to your exhaust pipe

True Flow - Too bad they don't make one for our cars.

Anyone seen the ads for these? Hehehehe.

I read an article not too long ago where they did a dyno test on one of those Spiralmax-turbonator type things. Didn't do jack squat, and one of the fins broke off and got sucked into one of the intake runners. Wonder if their warranty would cover a new engine?

Is it physically impossible to make a super/turbocharger for our cars, or is it just a matter of time?

I think somebody on here said that the hp gains in relation to the amount of $$$ doesn't make any sence. I wound not mind getting one, but I don't think it will happen soon enough though

It's amazing how I don't see anything about the questions I ask, ever, and then 10 minutes after asking them I see it's been covered elsewhere. Damn me and my anti-search-hood-ness-ism-ology. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Wouldn't it be great if these things actually worked 10hp from one of those 10hp from the gas saving tornado. I'm sure theres more that I just can't think of.

You do not have to sell liable items. The items do what they say. But do they claim or state their items does what it says it is going to do.

Why even start yet another thread about these devices? The subject has already been beat to death.

BTW: I'm getting 200 HP and 50 MPG out of my vortec.
