The Turbonator?!?

Is this thing for real? i find it hard to believe that this thing actually works and doesnt have any negative effects in some way... anyone have any idea. i dont know if it is wise to trust a product called "The Turbonator"...

That crap is sold be various companies using various brand names. The price is probably 20 times cost, if not more. The auto manufacturers are always trying to find ways to increase power, and economy and while lowering emissions. If something this cheap and easy actually worked, it would be standard equipment on all cars.

I think it would be funny if Arnold was elected Gov. of Cali, and made everyone get one to improve fuel economy...
"I am the Terminator...and everyone must buy the Turbonator. NOW!"
"Take my hand...I'll show you how it works"
"I'll be back...to check on your improved fuel mileage."

Funny how they go back to the MB website as "proof" that the thing actually works.

I just had to share this! ...from the feedback page:
"In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech."
