Turbonator?

[explorerguy27]

Has anyone installed a turbonator on their ex? I am wondering if they are worth it?

This is another true piece of work; I would never install this piece of junk. Truly a waste of time and money. If it were helpful, the auto makers would have done this years ago.

Sam Memolo of "Two Guys Garage" has started endorsing these things. Either they indeed work, or he's putting his reputation at risk. I've heard that they work with diesels better than with ignition engines, but I really don't know either way.....

Endorsement translates to personal monetary gain.

I still don't understand how, in a MPFI fuel injected engine, the air can still be spinning beyond the throttle body. The vortex that it creates would be in the very center of the air tube, and the opening when the throttle is pressed is at the very outside of the throttle opening. Seems to me that the throttle body would cancel out the effects of the vortex.

Now a TBI or carbed engine would be a different story, since the air and fuel are mixed far before entering the cylinders.
