Heyyyy - it must be a great product - the price has gone up from £19.99 to £49.99 in the past month!!! Maybe i should buy the last 10 at that sort of
inflationary figure and then sell them for £125 next month!!
Vortex generator indeed!!! Can we have a group swamping of questions to his account??

Brilliant stuff in the description!

BUY 3 TURBONATORS
AND MAXIMISE YOUR CAR'S PERFORMANCE!!!
Yup, that's right! You need to put in three of these things to gain up to 30Hp AND save over 30% fuel..

***FITS ALL CARS from 1.6 to 6.0 cc!!!***
So... real cars are out then, I suppose?
Funny stuff. Almost as good as those electric superchargers.. Bet the profit margin on these is quite a bit higher though!

That's amazing. Someone should tell all the big car manufacturers that they can forget about their research into alternative fuels, all they
need to do is put a cheap bit of crap (sorry, THREE cheap bits of crap) into their engines, and it's problem solved!

Extract from the website:
"If you don't feel comfortable installing it, have your mechanic do it for you. If he doesn't install it for free, find a new
mechanic."
I used to be apathetic but now I just don't care.

Sorry to revive this thread but I had to look up this item, and now they reckon it can give you up to 55bhp and up to 31% increase in mpg.
Doesn't a full on turbo unit add 50+?
Mind you they do say "up to" so f**k all is "up to..." The pictures look like it'll decrease power...

this part is my favourite (how does he know how much petrol im using?):
THE NUMBERS TALKING...
Savings Per Year :
A 10% increase in MPG will save you: $ 100
A 24% increase in MPG will save you: $ 240
A 31% increase in MPG will save you: $ 310
HP Calculator
How much horsepower does your vehicle have? Example: 100
With 10% more horsepower, your vehicle can have 110 HP
With 20 more horsepower, your vehicle can have 120 HP
With 35 more horsepower, your vehicle can have 135 HP
The Price Performance Ratio
More Power: 35 HP boosts are not typical. Your results with the Turbonator will probably, but not necessarily, be less. Just keep this in mind. A
Vortech Supercharger kit for a 2004 Mustang that produces 155 HP boost costs $5,139.95 (plus installation costs). The Price/Performance ratio is
$5,139.95/155HP = $33.16/HP. It costs $33.16 for every one horsepower it produces. Some of the people in above tests have attained as many as 35, ten
times more horsepower per dollar than any turbocharger or supercharger

I asked him how I get flat air when it's being pumped in... This is his reply
Hi,
yes it will add power to your car 100%. I guarantee this.
Thank you.

Still not convinced, but might make one for a laugh and see what happens

WOW!!
With a few of these, one of those windmills for the exhaust, a Brown's gas kit and some strategically placed magnets, I calculate I can roughly
quadruple the power of my engine whilst using a quarter of the fuel

I think it works on the cat/toast principal
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Isn't that about toast always landing butter side on the cat?

are you joking?
everyone knows that by buttering a piece of toast and tying it butter side up to a moggy you can basically falsify newtonian physics.
Its where Einstein got his ideas from.
The toast/cat entangled particle fails to hit the ground either feet first or butter down but is said to exist in a state instantanteously between the
two.
Thats before you look out of the 4th floor window and the observation forces the entangled particle into a single state. Namely - cat jam on toast.
