It Says It Increases Power And Gas Millage---Has Any One Tried It If So What Did You Think Of It---It Looks To Me Like It Could Help Some---I Am Sure It Would NOT Damage Any Engine ??

stay away.you would have better luck throwing your money out the window....at least a little of it might come back in.use your money to invest in some synthetic oil

DITTO! Probably won't hurt the engine but won't help either. Just a gimmick to make money. Also stay away from the "Computer Chip" that says it will give you an extra 20 HP and 10 more MPG as these really just fool the engine into thinking it has cold air all the time and could cause engine damage. The best mods for performance and fuel economy - synthetic oil, CAI, exhaust.

Sounds more like TORNADO and its very close brother
the Throttle Body Spacer

That Is All aMg Does For Their Motors on Benzes. They Put Like 8 Turbonators In and Charge $$$. It's Like 80HP For Each One! Get AT Least 5 And Let Us Know How That Works Out For You!!!

3 turbonators, or three of the mechanics? I can see the difference the latter would produce.

If I was not so lazy I would find the dyno test someone did with one of those things where the HP was decreased. The manufacturer claims that it causes the air to swirl and atomize fuel more completely, which is bs

If there were a lot of mechanics that looked like that there would be a lot of broke parts and vehicles, the wait at the shops would be measured in months, and motor oil would take on a whole new purpose.
