be patient and allow companies to work and do some proper R&D on the new engine/car.... it should be worth it.

hahahaha.... one look at this and I knew it's a fake... come on people. If a stupid piece of sheet metal could do that then why wouldn't it already be in the car?!?!

Hell, every bum would have a corner stand. :)

let me clear it up a bit... electric "chargers" like that one dont work because they produce less ain than what the engine is pulling by itself... hence the "charger" will be an obstruction more than a help...

even if it is true, you must have lots of parts to turbo your car.

3 weeks ago my protege5 was still turbocharged, just removed everything.

It started with 2500USD --> 6000USD for the upgrade.

Also depends if you are driving MT or AT, AT cannot hold much boost and thus could break down your engine.

definately! at full throttle when the car is dying for air, this piece of waste is not helping!

I wouldn't buy the "turbonator" sheerly for it name. It sounds like a junk piece of rice that promises 80+ whp increase with an air filter change! WHoooooo!

I love the Turbonator! Since I installed it in my new Civic my gas mileage went from 35mpg to 99mpg and the horse power increased from 140 to 295!
