If you search you will find a few members who have DYNO tested these and the results were impressive. A few magazines also tested these in a shootout and as usual they were impressed. I would say this mod is a def sleeper which is cheap in price but well built.

Definitely some low-end torque gains.

The turbonater gave me a gain of 46hp throughout the powerband. It also increased torque by 52. It was very easy to install too.

Please I have wondered about it also. When you install and get a dyno let me know the gains.

Dont let these guys talk crap to you, this is one of the worst forums for nice people to come on and ask simple questions. They dont like noobs at all. I am always available by Pm for all your 350Z related questions.

As far as the Turbonator goes, they work best when you have 3. One in the intake and 2 in the exhaust tubes that you wire up to activate at full throttle. This is the best combo for street usage. You are going to need bigger tires for the tremendous amounts of low end tork that they create.

Hope this helps. -Chris

Playing cards on your wheels gives better gains and sounds really cool too!
