Has anyone used this Turbo-dealy?

im thinkin it does the same as the old Tornado air dealies i used to see on TV. you install it in your intake hose/pipe like this, but it was a stationary fan. all it does is spin the air. the only good thing about is that i can think of is that it will help mix the fuel and air (creatin turbulence) in the cylinder before ignition. but all that does is help to burn most of the fuel in the cylinder (by atomizin it more) and spread the combustion pressure evenly on the piston crown. MAYBE better mpg, but not really a power increase..

The later model 4.3's (and other models) intake manifold and heads do this anyway, hence the name 'Vortec.'

But it doesn't mix the fuel and air. It is way upstream from the fuel injectors. The fan deal goes in the intake ducting, ahead of the throttle body. The injectors squirt into the lower intake manifold.

I think you will see more gains from hooking 80 of these to the intake and triggering them all to go off at the same time.
The tornado is horse crap. My noma had one when I got it. Only good thing I can say about it is its stainless steel. When I took it out of the breather I got about 1 mpg better. It hasn't rusted one bit hanging out back being used as a pistol target.

thats where the turbulence comes in. if the air is spinnin by the time the injectors are actuated, the fuel will mix more evenly with the air.. im in college for Diesel right now, and learned that turbulence has ALOT to do with performance. if you dont have an even burn, you dont get crap for power
