Turbonator
Has anyone tried a turbonator on a 2005 5.4?
I am wondering if it will realy help gas mileage. When I am towing my lightning I am only getting about 13 MPG. :rolleyes: |

Sorry :thumbsup:

Normally, I'd scream "Snake oil!" but I've never used one of those Turbonator-Tornady thingies, so I don't have anything to say. A friend of mine actually uses a Tornado in his 3.0 liter Ranger and swears by it, so take that for what it's worth. (ie, not a whole lot)

The big deal that the makers are making with these things are that they create a vortex going down the intake! SO, guess what happens when that vortex hits the air filter, it flattens out! Wasted $50

Its crap. Avoid that waste of money at all costs.

To me, it seems that anything that you put into your air intake will only restrict the air flow... thus making it harder for air to enter your engine...
Waste of money |
waste of money, do a search on here i think one of the magazines(consumer reports or something) tested all those gimmickes somebody posted a link to the site, it was very informative, but yes it ssaid all those tornados, turbonators, throttle body spacers, feul atomizers, were a bunch of junk and cost you HP instead of making it, good luck

i'm gonna speak out.. i was first turned onto the TBS in my old gmc.. that was the first mod i put on becuase it was all i could afford at the time.. 100 bones!.. took about 20 mins to put on and i felt all of it. I now have a poweraid in my 05.. i love it.. sounds like a turbo wining.... i felt the power..but thats me..

I have some ocean front property in Oklahoma I'll sell anyone who owns a turbonator for real cheap.
It's a good buy honest. :lol: |
Come on now!!! You own a Lightning and you ask a question like that here?
Makes me glad I sold my Lightning.... :rolleyes: |
