The Turbonator !! :)

Clicked on this link hosted on this web site http://www.turbonator.com/index.html

Has anyone tried it on their probe or have any mechanical nouse to suggest whether it would actually work or not?
Cheers.

Re: The Turbonator !! :)

mmmm..done a bit more surfing for info & may want to tread carefully on this one. These are posts from other sites:
Keep your money! It's a scam.

I've done a fair bit of work on air flow inside a cylinder, and I can assure you this will have no effect whatsoever.

There are two types of helpful airflow in the cylinder: swirl and tumble. However, you really want laminar airflow up to the inlet valve. The tumble and swirl atomise the fuel as the mix is drawn into the cylinder on the piston's downstroke, and the pattern of airflow is only affected by the angle and shape of the inlet port, and the position of the valve.

This is a nonsense. You'll see no gain. In fact, it will probably slow your car down as it is effectively a blockage, reducing the area of your air inlet.
