i dont know about the other stuff, but the tornado seemed to work when i had it in my pathfinder. it didnt increase hp, but it did give me a boost in MPG. i gained 2MPG. that doesnt seem a lot, but anything helps when youre driving a SUV. not sure if its going to do anything for a sedan.

Simple answer:
Don't do it.
No personal experience here with the product, but sometimes when something seems too good to be true, it really IS too good to be true. The description of the product on the website seems like a fine example of techno-babble designed to lure unsuspecting/uninformed consumers who want cheap power gains.
Furthermore, with the warranty issues and all, I really don't think the power gain (if any) would be worth the time/money/effort. Unless you gain like 50 HP, you won't even notice the difference while driving, and I seriously doubt that this product will add as much.
If you really want more power, do it the right way: save up money and buy a proper supercharger/turbo kit, custom or from Brabus/Kleeman/etc. Do it right once.
Unrelated comment: what's with all the sarcasm, guys? Why so mean? He asked a legitimate question, and I don't think he deserves all the ridicule. Simply unnecessary. Same goes for those guys that routinely reply "STFF" to everything. WTF?

IF
you think that an electric motor that is drawing a bit over 1 H.P.(a horsepower equals 745.69987158227022 Watts exactly) is going to create an additional 10-30 horsepower on your car.You need to learn much more about engines and cars before you consider more horsepower to kick around
Getting something from nothing is still nothing
Except your wallet will be somewhat lighter(to the tune of $399.99)

Don't do it. This fan can only gain you 2-3 horses the most while you're on the freeway but while you're in the city and your car is not going fast enough, it will easily over heat because there isn't enough air pressure to push the fan to run.

that's not gonna work. i remember seeing infomercials on that product a long time ago. the numbers they claim are ridiculous.
i come from a japanese car background too and this Tornedo thing wouldnt work on those either.
definitely dont bother with it

Confused.
I am new to the whole european car world as well. I have always had American muscle. Love the C350 and don't think I will every buy a non-german car ever again.
That being said, looking at the 1psi air intake and supercharge, I am a little confused. The c350 has dual air intakes? So, wouldn't you need two of these?

seriously, read, read and read some more. in 3 months from now you will be amazed about how much you learn just from reading these boards and you will also realize how close you were to buying a freakin tornado product. geez.

Isn't the "secret" to more power getting more air in and out of the cylinder? If so, how can placing an obstruction (excuse me, turbonator) in the intake aid air flow?
