    Default turbonator

    What do you guys think about turbonator in our bimmers? Would it do what they claim? Has anyone tried it on m20 engine? They claim p to 35 more in power and better fuel economy.

    Default I got one as part of a kit

    Kit was a chip, 68 mm throttle body, port matched intake manifold (matched to t/body as well) and the afor mentioned turbonator. Fitted bits one at a time to gauge results (as I'm a born sceptic of all things). Biggest impovement came from the chip , a small improvement from each succesive peice added . Overall, the throttle response is chrisper, she does rev to 6800, after the chip was fitted, I drove her for a couple of weeks to get the feel and then fitted the rest, as I said bit by bit, with improvement at each stage. I am very pleased with the overall package and the increased power and tq, but would I spend the $ on just a tubonator, that's a tough question to answer, it gives a minor improvement. And sometimes, that is subjective, because WE want to believe. I would like to see a before and after dyno run myself, I may get the chance later.
