Question What do you know..??


I was looking thru e-bay and came across the item "TURBO TORNADO AIR FLOW". Seem you add it infront of your turbo and it helps air flow.. Kinda like a spinner.

This is the first time I have seem one, but I am sure some of the old dogs know allot about them...

Give us some info..

From what I have heard it's a scam and could never produce enough air pressure to make a difference.

To add to what rmilchman said, the Tornado is supposed to create a swirling effect in your intake. The turbo already does that, and I haven't heard anyone report that the Tornado helps a turbocharged engine at all.

I don't even think that it'll create a swirling effect. Once the air goes through the blades it just continues on straight.

A box fan blow air straight out, not in a circle.

Thanks for the input. I thought that might be the case but it is always good to get others input.

Have a great holiday
