Tornado Air System ???

Has any one here tried this device called the tornado air?? Does it actually help out the powerstroke. I was told by a guy here at work that he put on in his highlander and it increased his MPG by 3 MPG. There web sites say they have one for the 99+ powerstroke.

Save your money. The air gets chopped up once it hits the turbo anyway.

Never heard of that one, the only thing that I have seen that actually works is a TAG (Turbo Air Guide), I 've done some testing on them and they actually work like they say there supposed to. Alot of the cummings guys swear by them.

Thats what I was thinking. I wouldn't see how it would help the powerstroke. Just wondered if anyone had installed in on a powerstroke.

Hey CLK, I've done a little reading since your post. Do you now run the TAG? It seems possible that it would work. I'm always looking for possible upgrades to power and reliability.

I have a TAG in my truck, I have had it for about 1 1/2 years. I have been very pleased with the results from it for what it costs. You will loose a little boost on the gage like they claim but the throttle responce and spool up is noticeable. It is hard to say about the mileage I have estimated about .75 to 1 mpg increase.

I don't know anything about the TAG really...

BUT, the Tornado Air is basically unproven technology, i.e. SCAM at least that is the concensus from other forums that ai frequent for regularly for the petrol vehicle.
