I'm sorry i didn't mean to insut you, but the turbonator didn't do anything for you.
I'm usually straight to the point kind of guy (no beating around the bush here).
I'm also sorry if you believe the "turbocraponator" did anything for you.
Enjoy your Imaginative 5.5mpg increase.
Adding a high flow intake, free flowing exhaust, and header won't give you 5% increase in fuel economy, what makes you think a $1.50 piece of aluminum will give you that kind of results? How many tanks of petrol did you go through to come up with your census of this item? I hope you've burned more then about 200 gallons of petrol.
I can tell you that my truck gets 21mpg average, but i'd be lieing to you.......
Sure it'll get 21mpg if I drive 300 miles at 55mph, but that's not real world situations, stop and go is a part of life.......
Trace the path of airflow....it goes though a filter....then into an intake tube....still probably flowing the same.....then it hits a "TURBONATOR" and it "swirls" the air (
).....ok fine.. then it hits a butterfly valve.................Whats going to happen to that "SWIRLING" air.....it's going to strighten out..........duh........physics says so......... if thats not enough....I'm sure your intake runners will take care if that "swirling" air by making it straight.....how many straight aways does it take to make you straight??????????????
If "swirling" the intake made better fuel economy dont you think the manufatures would have figured something like that out by now????
