is this worth it?

[lycan91]

i want to put a tbs and a tornado along with a k&n filter in my air box are the tbs and tornado worth it in a first gen.?

tornado...haha. Its worthless. We have a memeber(aldive) test it out and he had NO gains whatsoever. I believe he actually lost a horsepower. A throttle body spacer i dont know about so i'll let others chime in.

I saw a couple of people post their results of the Tornado. Some had dyno results. Instead of a fluctuating dyno pattern, it looked a little smoother, but had no HP gain. I don't know how they've been able to pull off their gimmick of ripping people off for so many years without getting put out of business? Just like those super chips on EBay that are only resistors on the coolant sensor's wiring. Another gimmick is that fuel line magnet that is supposed to increase mileage. What a bunch of garbage!

what is that??

 

[BrooklynBay]

He's joking about the bridge. He wasn't referring to another performance part that he was selling!

The dyno chart say's it all. What a waste of money. Sadly, I bought one. if you still want one I would gladly sell it to you for half of what I bought it for.($25.00)shipped!

didnt do anything for ya at all huh????

 

[BrooklynBay]

Did you try to return it, or contact the company? Maybe they could do something for you.

 

[fig]

didn't try to contact the company. Will try that though. And no, I could not notice any difference what so ever in gas mileage.

It won't do anything but get in the way of airflow. I could almost fathom that on a carburated you could swirl the air in the intake to better atomize the fuel, (which I doubt would have much effect) but the idea that you could alter the air coming into a multi-port fuel injection is a joke. It's not worth $3 and free shipping. If you going to spend money on better fuel economy, go after tune up items and not throw your money away on snake oil.
