Turbonator

Is this as retarded as it looks, or can you really get some hp out of it? I got into an argument with someone at the track the other night, and pretty much told him that you could get the same effect with a blow dryer.

:shock:
you must be joking right!!!???

i'm...i'm....um....yeah....speachless...

i think you may get more performance out of the blow dryer than that thing!!!

they say "supercharge any car"...how exactly does a non moving unit create a supercharging affect.

:no:

unfortunatly im not. there i was at the track with the hood up...and this yokel comes up to me and starts talking. i was curtious, and we got to talking about forced induction. is a supercharger or turbo better. then he brought up a turbonator. i had to turn around to keep from insulting him too bad. then when i told him it was not worth a cent...he started to argue. i ended it on..."well you might as well rig a blow dryer up. and if you really want some power...invest in a leaf blower"

i think i later saw him leaving in a mulit-collored neon. that explains alot.

sometimes you just need to set them straight.

i bet he went home and researched how to put a leaf blower in his car.

watch out for him next week at the track...he'll have a boosted neon then!!

:cool:

that would be pretty funny.

picture this: a white/primer with blue striped neon running with an industrial grade diesel leaf blower! ;)

I recently read an aticle in Popular Mechanics (or Science... can't remember what) and they had an artical on some of the gas saving gadgets out there. They did before and after testing of power and mileage between several different gadgets like the magnets for the fuel line, Tornado, and some aqua mist thing. The test mule actually lost power with the tornado, and got less fuel mileage. Guess it turned out to be a restriction and not a help. FYI

Edit: Found a link to the artical, interesting reading! http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive/auto_technology/1802932.html

I wish I had this article around when people brag about their Tornado. My dad had a neighbor bragging about one in his Tornado in an SRT4, and almost had him sold on one for all his vehicles!! Print out the article and keep in your glovebox for imment arguments!! Tell them to prove Popular Mechanics wrong!! :D

i thought i would. the guy made such a fuss over it.

I have a bone to pick with administration. Why are they allowed to advertise on this site? I hope they pay a lot more than the other sponsors since they're really just selling snake oil. Shoot, they have one of the most visible ads, one of the first things you see on the left on the home page. WTF? ...why?

They have paid their fee so they have an equal right to advertise here. If people are stupid enough to buy their product here, than that is a different story.

where did this come from...were are administrators selling stuff.

Speaking of admins, shouldn't this go in like the Lounge or something? Forced Induction Forum? Come on....
But if someone wants to pay their fee, by all means let them support this site and advertise. They probably should've searched the site themselves to see what kind of feedback people on here have given about their product. Oh well.

"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)

What other proof do you need????:lol:

I would like to quote by Chris Farley in Tommy Boy, I think this best explains the situation:

"Ya know why they put the gareentee on the box, cause they know your selling ya a gareenteed piece of crap. If ya want me to crap in a box and label it gareented, i'll do that for ya. I got alot of space time on my hands, but for your customers sake, your sake and your daughter's sake you'll by a real product from me."

Someone from this site must be buying them, otherwise why would they continue to advertise here? I know I know, because "they're f***ing stupid just like their product design" right? They must be doing something right (marketing-wise) or they wouldn't have been in business for so long.

I couldn't disagree more when you say "they have an equal right to advertise here". They are con artists, scammers, lying degenerates, etc ....and I hope they pay for their dishonest ways in time. Just because certain people on here aren't well informed (or "intelligent" ....whatever) enough to know better than to buy snake oil does not in any way mean they deserve to be ripped off.

For example's sake let's use elderly people who are targeted in insurance or investment scams.....they are the market who insurance/investment scammers can profit the most from. I'd say these awful Turbonator people see us the same way: "Bunch of young-dumb-punk gearheads who'll do anything to go faster or even have a shot at going faster, we'll sell of ton of these POS things at a big website like cz28.com".

I feel it's the responsibility of administration to make sure companies who have no moral values are not affiliated with this site in any way. Sorry for the rant Chris F. and others, maybe you have your reasons or it's a legality issue. I would think it's administrations' right to say "sorry, you can't advertise here" no matter what though, perhaps I'm mistaken.

I agree 100%. Unfortunately, money is the bottom line, and bandwidth is expensive

I think it's dumb for them to pay to advertise on a site where everyone involved bashes them to no end.

I could care less. I can only inform people of a bad product. The owners of camaroz28.com do not have a moral responsibility to not allow a company to advertise because of their lack of results. If they pay, they play. If anyone frequents this site and has enough sense to read, they will realize it's a bad purchase.

Wonder how many false advertising claims have been made against the makers of those items. :think:

I'm glad my "ludicrous" word made you all think of that lol ....

"Pre' pre' prepare ship ....for ...ludicrous speed!!!! Seal all entrances and exits, cancel the three ring circus .........."

I like the "STOP" button with the sign on it that said "never use" lol.

"I said across her nose, not up her nose you idiot ....who trained this man?!?!"

"I did sir, he's my cousin (cross eyed lol)"

"He's an ******* sir, Lieutenant Major ******* sir"

"I can't believe this, I'm surrounded by *******s ....keep firing *******s!"

....great movie (Spaceballs)

forgot a major one...

"why didnt anyone tell me my ass was so big!" :)

Truly sad...what a waste of time, I can't imagine why some lawyer hasn't gone after them for false advertising with a class action lawsuit?!?!?! Every time I see that stupid magnet things in the local stores it pisses me off!

Unfortunately, advertising here USED to mean something, and the advertisers were credible...jokers like these would have been run out of town in a heartbeat. The admins should learn to "just say NO"!
