Those electric superchargers do not work. 2 psi will do nothing and like stated early will create more of a restriction. Have fun when it breaks apart and you have to pull the intake to remove plastic pieces, if they didn't make their way into the combustion chamber.

There are so many products out there that advertise BS. Look at it this way, if it advertises it is SO much better than what the OEM can come out with, it probably won't work.

The Tornado....if the OEMs could put a cheap piece of riveted metal in the intake tube and gain 15%, don't you think they would?

are you talking about those things that go in your intake and are supposed to turn the airflow into a cyclone? ive seen a ton of stupid stuff like that around, it almost makes me feel bad for the people that buy them thinking they might work. theres the tornado, electric superchargers, 'catalysts' that go in your gas tank that are supposed to act as permanent octane boosters. ive seen companies advertise teflon wax as an air drag decreaser, which might help minimally... if youre going 220 mph.

anybody else know of any of these gimmick products? it would be entertaining to hear what other ploys are on the market, especially foreign stuff that might not have made its way to the US.
