    i believe if you get two of them you are in even better shape - maybe 40 mpg and over 300 horsepower

    "I purchased two Turbonators for my Chrysler Sebring and immediately noticed the increase in power. It was more than I expected. I am already noticing the improved gas mileage. I like them so much, I am ordering two more for my brothers. Now, it feels like my car has a turbo charger."

    What about like ten of them in series?

    a turbonator for the exhaust would be nice, and for the radiator fan, and for the antifreeze itself - too!

    I'm going to put one on my leaf blower inlet and one on the outlet. The vortex coming off of it should clean up my yard in minutes...if I can hang on!

    Surprised there are any snakes left on the planet, with so many of them being squeezed for their oil. 8>)

    Default I'm pretty sure it works like a toilet....

    I'm pretty sure the swirl effect maintains all the way through the car and out the exhaust, despite the combustion process.

    Think of it like a toilet. I'm pretty sure my turd swirls all the way through the flush, from the bowl through the flange and down through my home plumbing all the way until it hits the sewer or ejector pit. A pretty efficient flush at only 1 gallon per flush. That efficiency is achieved by the swirling action.

    Does that mean that for us in the USA the turbonator would swirl one direction and for those down under it would swirl in the opposite?
