I think it's just snake oil and I wouldn't spend my money on it. On the other hand, I had a guy come into work a couple weeks ago and buy for for his 4 cyl. Z3 and he swears is works. | | | | | 06-07-2005, 06:10 AM | #3 | | Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 93 |

a turbonator is like a weird type of supercharger that makes the air spin around and explode easier or something.
maybe it works? if it does i'd buy one, as a matter of fact i might buy one just for fun and return it after 30 days if it doesn't work. | | | | | 06-07-2005, 07:18 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Manhattan Kansas Posts: 242 |

Now...if it was a SUPER FLUX CAPACITOR...hmmmm...motorwerk | | | | | 06-08-2005, 01:49 AM | #9 | | Junior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Seattle, WA Posts: 24 |

reminds me of that thing called the 'vortex' or whatever.... a little alluminum fan or something that swirls it around for better combustion...the website advertized 0-30 hp gain... __________________ 1995 318ti Active

We had people post on this turbonator thing before and I said I was going to buy one to see if it was actually true, that it could actually add more power. So I got one and it didn't do anything to my car. Although I thought I heard this supercharged sound from my intake but, it was just my K&N air filter  . __________________
