Default TURBO...nator?

Ok so i was doing some research on turbo kits for my sc300 and one of those advertisments inbeded in the text popped up saying "Increase HP and Fuel Economy!" so i clicked it. it brings me to this site www.turbonator.com and they are trying to sell me some "vortex generator". i was curious to see if anyone has ever used one of these and if so, how they perform.

thanks
shamus

Its a proven dyno fact that an SC300 with a stock airbox, with the lid off and no filter will gain 5rwhp and about the same torque increase.

Ignore the tornado and turbinator things, it's a hoax. There are lots of threads about it if you use search feature of our forum.

Lots of info in the forums out there like the turbinator and 'tornado' you can find... for example:
