Has anybody heard of turbonator?

I was reading modified magazine and i saw an ad that said, "Supercharge any car, up to 55Hp for only $35" The brand name was turbonator, so i went to there website http://www.turbonator.com and read up on their stuff and I do not trust or believe what they say. They claim up to 55hp and a 33% increase in mpg from their $35 supercharger that can fit any car. Does anybody have this thing or know anything about it?

its a vortex generator that you put in your intake pipe right after your air filter and it spins/swirls your air creating a vortex that produces fast-burn effect in the combustion chamber. That is what they say on their website.

so pretty much its the same thing as this

ok, this is pretty simple...

when a product says "supercharge" and has NO moving parts its full of s**t. plain and simple. you can put supercharged in front of anything... "supercharge your Cantilope with the new TURBO Fruit-inator"
