Hi there People:
While surfing around looking for what is availble for the 06 Mustang V6
I came across this bolt-on Air inductor called the Turbonator. Has anyone
used this product, Does it really work. Seems pretty good if it Does. Check
it out http://www.turbonator.com/index.html?id=adWordsMagMustang

Good at 'lightnen' yer wallet!
Look up definition of 'placebo effect'...
If it REALLY worked, modders and mfrs would put a little version in each
manifold runner.... it cannot POSSIBLY work out in front of the throttle
plate.

Popular Mechanics tested a number of these different gadgets in an issue a
couple of months ago.
Bottom line was none of them worked, including the Tornado (seen on TV all
the time) and some even made the car run worse!
Popular Mechanics rarely dislikes anything from what I can see so for them
to write an article like that means the things must have *really* sucked.

Thanks for the Input there guys, thought it was too good to be TRUE. But if
one dose not ask around one could waste a few bucks that could have gone to
something else more worth while.
Again thanks for the input..

Mythbusters did a show on things that supposedly improve gas mileage. I was
sorely disappointed when Adam and Jamie didn't tackle these airflow thingies.

YES!
I remember that show and I had waited all week to watch it and then they
didn't test the very devices that are plastered all over the infomercials.
I was also a bit disappointed in their "hide from radar" tests as well,
although that one was better.
They left an import aspect out of the show but I can't for the life of me
remember what it was?

I once sent an email to one of these places asking how the little
"tornado" kept swirling past the butterfly, through all the tubes and
around corners in the intake manifold and then past the valve stems and
into the cylinder. I never got a reply.

Still, I WOULD like to see it tried in the runners, matched (CW/CCW) to
the port/valve topography. We KNOW high swirl chamber does give good
economy, but at expense of max power.
Remember the piano wire brazed across the intake ports on heads?
