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

What do you think? Hit or S$@*?

There is one simple thought experiment that one can do. The turbonator has 3 flaps that are a fan that swirls the air. Now there is a flap along the way already - the one in the throttle body. What does it do? It blocks the airflow by minimizing open cross section for the air flow. Same do the flaps of the turbonator.

I find it ridiculous to buy this piece especially so since one can make the thing himself with a soldering gun - take a ring and solder in three inclined flaps of a fan...

Is it possible to addapt the m30, slightly larger, throtle to 525i with m20 engine? Has anyone done it to go in sync with the larger fuel injectors and AFM m20 to m30 swap? I know the rubber boot will go on if submerged in boiling water first.

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.

Absolutely. I always thought the induction manifold looked like a u-bend, but I never knew BMW engineers (and others) had actaully copied the unique 'swirling vortex action' to improve volumetric efficiency. Until I saw the turbonator and I realised: Previously I had thought this was so that the exiting stool would clean poultice from the sides of the drain to keep it free, I never knew it actually was to assist the combustive process of a con-merchant's combustion product before it had been conceived.

ROFL. What a hilarious viewpoint Scott, good description!

get 3 tadgars and 2 turbonators you wil have a faster car than jon on his little turbo setup.

it certainly did wonders for my glock

now when i shoot a bad guy the bullet is moving so fast the guy is completely vaporized, thinking about getting one for my dick cept you mount that one backwards so it draws the chic to your crotch
