Some resturants put Turbonators in the fans in the bathroom ceilings to get the smell out of the stalls faster.

I bought the Turbonator a while ago and loved it so much I bought 16 more of them. I built a custom bracket and fan shroud for them and they make for a perfect E-fan setup. Much better than the Troyer version for sure.

LOL, actually i have had sucess using these... sadly enough it was on our old 1984 crysler lebaron. You see, the extra turbulance managed to mess up the fuel as it entered the engine. Now it's a $100 junk car by the polebarn.

GO TORBONATOR!!!!

But i did actually notice an increase of about 1/2 a mile per gallon for the whole 2 weeks the car worked.

LOL.....I've seen al the gimmicks. Seeing a fellow Mopar owner here(JgGravy, those '84's are a collector's car now if you decide to restore it), what about the one on ebay selling you a resistor that you spliced into the TBI temp sensor and netted 100MPG? Another offered you a way to reprogram the MAF sensor for better performance. LOL...makes me wonder.......

That car may go through a minor rebuild this summer. If that doesn't fix it i know someone who wants to buy it for a demo car. $200 bucks.

"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) "

I doubt Dr. Brian exists but if he does i suggest NEVER going to a Dr. that cant tell the difference between stock (which is what it still is after the turbonator) and a turbo charged vehicle..

on another note though when i tried a turbonator on my truck is made my stock speakers sound like a 22in MTX Jackhammer.
