Just wondering if anybody has put this product in their rolla? [http://www.tornadofuelsaver.com]. You've guys probably seen them on infomericals claim it creates a vortex using the air sucked in by the intake system.. Just wondering if it really boost HP and lowers Gas Mileage :grin:

I'm 99.99% sure that it is just a gimic. :smile:

I can't see how it would work. :grin:

Wouldn't the benefits of the vortex get destroyed once the air hits the TB? Once it hits the plate, the air should stop 'spinning'....

I remember when I was taking auto tech courses at the community college, a guy was working on these little turbine looking things he was mounting in the bottom of the intake manifold under the carb. Back then I thought all that would do is restrict air flow, but the theory ofcourse was that it would cause turbulence I guess, keeping the air fuel mixture well atomized. Is this anything like what this tornado thing is?
