Talking Does the Turbonator work?

I was just wondering if the Turbonator works, that this website shows on the left column.

Used the search feature and type in turbonator. A scuba mask and tube would work just as good.

Ok, I think he gets the picture guys. Lets take it a little eaiser on the lad eh? Everyone here was 16 once and thought all kinds of dumb sh*t too. And it looks like he JUST got on these boards so cut him some slack, at least he's asking.

BTW, the turbonator isnt worth its weight in crap, if you missed the oh-so-subtle sarcasm from the rest of the peanut gallery

Welcome to the boards.

Also, in the future, you can use the 'search' feature and find alot of the answers you need, might help you avoid some of the flak.

Hi.

Geez, Blind - does this mean your Dad's Corvette doesn't have one?

Are you for real, or are ya just 'jazzin' all us old folks ;-))...

Just for you:

On a fish: Turbotnator
On potatoe: Turbotator
On a camel: Turbanator
On grass: Turfonator
As a kid's toy: Smurfonator <---- (this may apply to you)

... Nope , no sarcasm here ;-))

PS: I hear these things are what's really inside BlowMaster mufflers ...

Cheers!
Vic

I got a couple of them for my 4.2L, but I am not noticing much of an improvement. Maybe I got one on backwards and they are cancelling each other out?

Hi. I think they actually belong on each end of a FlowMaster - anything to help those sorry excuses for an exhaust to flow better... ;-)). Kind of a push/pull arrangment, ya know?

I mean really... what's one *more* baffle gonna do that isn't already being done by dat rat's maze inside dem things, anyway? Heck, a person could get lost forever in there...

Cheers!
Vic

Lucky for you that one is on backwards.
The instructions clearly warn not to use two:

'WARNING using two Turdonators on one vehicle will cause negative gas mileage. The more the vehicle is driven, the more gas will build up in the tank.
If you decide to install two turdonators we strongly advise you install a larger gas tank and begin all trips with an empty tank. Remember to stop periodically and give your excess gas to friends and family.
