Honestly man, they worked great for me when I was NA. I ran 2 of them in parallel and I gained almost 44 hp. I use one in-line with each turbo now and I can say that they contribute to about 69hp with my newest setup.

Nothing beats them for the price and HP they give NOTHING (see my sig #1 modification)

I think I just recently shared a post about an unexpected and blindingly fast trip to Canada thanks to a few Turbonators. Just monstrous amounts of power. The designers actually teamed up with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and NASA to develop the final product.

i am really starting to think this is how turbonator does their advertising. cause i see these goofy posts on nearly every forum and they say the same thing.
hey turbonator guy, if you are making so much money with those things, pay to be a sponsor!!!!!

I've actually got 10 in my intake...5 in the upper intake pipe and 5 more in the lower pipe. I must have gained close to 180 rwhp from these things...not to mention I now get 30 mpg...

In all seriousness though, I've read reviews where it has actually caused a loss of power. Not sure if thats a tuning issue but I just don't trust anything that cheap.
