Default TECH, What about the Turbonator?
I keep seeing ads for this turbonator product that claims to add power and fuel economy, it slips between airbox and intake. have you heard of it and if so is it worth the 60.00 USD ?
http://www.turbonator.com
thanks

brian

TOTAL RIP OFF. Please do not, I repeat DO NOT buy this product. The claims are not backed by anything. Use that money for a better car part or save it to buy an ECU upgrade.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT
