Anything that is that cheep, and would save the kind of money they say it will would already be on the vehicle, don't ya think??? If it sounds too good to be true, 'probably is......
The 'turbulator' or finned product's idea is based upon the idea of spinning air traveling farther, faster, and easier. They prey upon inexperienced folks thinking that the air coming out of this gizmo is like a turbo. Wrong-o. Rip-off. BS. All this thing does is cause some turbulence. At the MOST it is detrimental. To get the most performance you need to control the air's path through proper porting and testing with an air flow bench. Introducing turbulence to the air at the intake is a bunch of BS.
The programmer 'chip' they sell is like everyone else's where they say they trick the computer into retiming itself and adjusting the fuel mixture by making the computer think it's intake charge is colder than it is. This thing is also a bunch of BS and isn't worth the 10 minutes it takes to order it and install it.
Save your money and take your girlfriend out for a beer and burger. Now THAT could pay off!
