Turbonator
 

I found this add for turbonator.com, in numerous sites. Has anyone installed on of there in their subaru? Any feedback?

No, but I often see people poking fun at it.

I'm pretty sure that product's only purpose is to be poked fun at on Car Forums.

see above.

I could do it for less than $69.95....

Goto your local garden store, pick up a leaf blower. Now you just need hose and fittings to mate the leaf blower to your intake. Ghetto, but effective. Turbo lag what?

I recently read in the March 05 issue of Sport Compact Car that they actually tested them. "...those ridiculous "electric superchargers" typically found on ebay like the e-Ram. Typically these are electric leaf-blower ducted fans powered by the battery. Those devices do absolutely nothing for power and, in fact, every car that we have tried such devices on actually lost power. When calculating the amperage draw from these devices, it's clear they're not capable of providing enough air volume to increase the density of the inlet charge and are merely restrictions in the intake tract." There's your answer right there.

I agree and if it really was that good, I would have seen it on someones car by now and I havent ( Like a friend )

Well apparently this guy from San Jose says different

[quote=Dr. Brian Coyle] I purchased two Turbonators for my Chrysler Sebring and immediately noticed the increase in power. It was more than I expected. I am already noticing the improved gas mileage. I like them so much, I am ordering two more for my brothers. Now, it feels like my car has a turbo charger." - Dr. Brian Coyle (San Jose, CA)[/quote]

He ordered two for his car! WOW!
:rotfl:

The FAQ is even funnier:

[quote][b]Can I use more than one in my vehicle?[/b]

Yes, in Fuel Injection/E.F.I. vehicles, up to three Turbonator's have been installed by automotive enthusiasts that race their vehicles.[/quote]

[QUOTE=namakemono]"In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech."
