These things (if it is the Tornado thingie) are pure crap from what I heard on a CRX forum a few years ago.

The way i look at it is...If these things were really that great
and added up "50 hp" EVERYONE would already have it, its not exactly a new item, and compared to any other mod its a great
$ to HP ratio, ya'know? Ohh well...but it would be good if **** actually dyno'd it.

Anyone else see this:
Q15: How many units can I put in my car?
A: If you have an EFI type car, you may install two (2) units for a near double boost

Sht, **** put 4 of them on and get instant 200 HP!, jokin.
I'm thinkin if u put 2, it will restrict air flow a lot, ergo taking away HP, am i wrong? i dunno

YEah, ill bet that thing produces 50hp...give me a break...and, u can pick up the tornado for like 60 bucks, why did the winning bidder pay over 180?? thats pretty pathetic.

He only accepts:

"United State Postal MONEY ORDERS!!!!"


Oh, and my personal favorite:

"Q7: Do I need to do any adjustments other than the above?
A: Probably the most important adjustment you will need to make is getting used to the increased hp and torque, for the same speed you do not need to step on the gas pedal as much. You may find your pressure on the pedal for the same speed is about 20-30% less, especially at freeway cruising speeds. The car will coast further on idle, as even that small amount of gas is being utilized more efficiently. Advise other drivers the car is* now more powerful."


His eBay feedback says it all:

I saw some magazine a while back that took a Tornado and actually DID dyno it. I turned out to do NOTHING. No power increase whatsoever. The dumba$$ that bought that thing for $186 is probably the same guy who has 5 Rotatos and 3 of those Gazelle exercisers in his house cause he thinks if he uses the Gazelle he'll get as huge as that Tony Little guy.

Looks like a scam to me. I have never seen a supercharger sell for that low. The only time you could get something of that deal is if you have a friend that wants to get rid of his.
