If you connect the turbonator to the end of a flammable aerosol can, spray it and light it on fire, it makes a really cool looking fire funnel....

I installed one in the tank on my commode. Made it fill up a LOT faster. It worked so well I decided to install on in the commode bowl. Did not work as well, stuff kept getting hung up.

Darth, that was me. And I've discovered if you line the intake tube with them, you can break the speed of light

For increased airflow, ya get a K&N in the front, and a flowmaster (or other such airflow increasing exhaust systems), but the turbonator only swirls the air. You doun't need to swirl the exhaust. Besides, they haven't made a turbonator for the exhaust (not that I've seen). Even if they did, I wouldn't be buying one.

Pssst....I'll let you in on a secret...everything that we have said in here is a joke! The Turdonator, although is a real product, it a joke. It does nothing. Zip, zero, nada. We joke about it because there are at least 2 "Turbonator" threads started every week, and they always end up with the same results, which are what you are seing above.

wow a turbonator. i need one of these...

so it works by "turbo charging" the incoming air charge.

so how does the charge continue to "swirl" after all of the changes in direction inside the intake, and then through the valve, (which by the way cause their own swirl), and help combustion?

the answer... it doesn't. come on guys.

If you have a turbo, and intall a Turbanator upstream from it in the exhaust, could the swirl of the exhaust gasses improve the efficiancy of the turbine?

Thing to make you go hmmmm.....

Its just a marketing campaign to take advantage of those swirlee yearnings that we get as kids that sometimes extend into adulthood.

Would it swirl the air the opposite direction if you were on the other side of the equator?

Everybody knows that if you are south of the equator it swirls air out of your engine!
