Don't you think with all the millions that Toyota puts into design that they might have figured something like that out and built it into the induction system? My opinion...its crap!

Cappi, I think this thing might work with carburetors and with throttle body injection. It would be swirling the air where the fuel is mixed causing better atomization, but our engines fuel is mixed at the port just before the valve and this tornado would have very little if any affect at this point.

I tried it and it didn't work. They did refund my money eventually.

Yo Cappi!

I don't have first-hand experience with the Tornado. But, a few people in TundraSolutions have tried it. I believe everyone of them removed them and got a refund because they just didn't work as advertised. I.e., no increase in power or gas mileage.

Hopefully, one of the experienced users will also reply to this thread.

Ciao.

Has anyone installed a tornado in their air-intake to increase performance or gas mileage?
