I think it's junk, about like a throttlebody spacer. It's not even going to spin the air that much. Tell you what. Get yourself the blades off of a small old fan of any kind, or better yet a windmill, mount them into a tube they will fit into snugly. Then blow air at a high volume and velocity through it. You're not going to notice much, if any spin. It's not going to do much more than slow the airflow in my opinion. Air tends to dissipate it's movement rather quickly unless kept moving somehow. Why do you think a small fan can only blow air so far?

Save your money.

The Turbonator? Isn't he the Governer of California now? Oh wait, Arnold was the TERMInator, sorry! No, this thing is just another rip-off. You could get about the same results by sticking a hose from your air intake to your driver's seat and blowing in the damn thing as you drive! As long as there are suckers out there to buy this crap, the con-artists will keep on making it. -TD
