From everything I've read it creates a restriction and causes a loss of power and increase in fuel consumption. Can you take it back?

I wouldn't even test it because then they won't take it back. Its been a long standing joke over here.

Nah man you need a tornado infront of the turbonator to get it to work right. Just make sure you have Z-max in your engine or its gonna go boom

Man you got shafted. My buddy got 67 out of his. At first he put it in backwards and lost 67 horsepower. It was pushing air OUT of the motor.
