Turbonator does it really work??

I have a 2001 f150 king ranch 5.4 Just curious if anyone has tried this and actually had any NOTICIBLE performance increase. Just want some feedback from the users here.

Cheers

Does nothing for fuel injected engines. Save your money.

99.9% of aftermarket add- ons are big money makers for the manufacture and a waste of time and money for the buyer. they are all hype.

The turbonator is just another knock off of the "Tornado". Since the Tornado is waste, so is the turbonator. Don't bother.

It'll work great. You'll notice a definite sound difference. There's a huge sucking noise coming out of your wallet. That'll happen right about the time you purchase it. After that initial sucking noise, nothing...
