Ooooooh, the TURBONATOR! I've used these for years. They magnaflux the air molecules as they enter the intake manifold. This garnered me an additional 53.2999 whp on my old VW Beetle. The current generation of this device will also de-exonerate the Nitrogen into Nitronium for a much better combustion. On my Vortech, I'm able to dyno at 487.26 whp and get 63.83 mpg while cruising. This has got to be a MUST BUY!
Don't let anyone give you that "Sucker is born every minute" line. This thing REALLY works. I am living proof on my planet Adnoid, that these things are the shit! DO IT! In fact, get TWO and mount them in series and DOUBLE your gas mileage instantly.
If I used a triple set-up, I might get 3 times the mileage & 3 times the horsepower?

Would I have to make any "lengthening" mods on the intake?

A kid tried to tell me one time that he had one of these and so his car was turbocharged. wtf? I told him all you need now is one of those blow off valve noise makers that you bolt to your exhaust tip and then people might believe you.

They do help cut up the random squirrels and small birds that get sucked into the intake with the air filter off. It cuts em up really nice to increase the mammal-bird-air-fuel ration for more combustion! Sure we've got water and alcohol injection, but wait till you suck in a blue jay, youve never seen power like that. Good luck ever getting traction when you hit an owl!
Oh man that's funny

Say.... I never thought of this, but it's gotta work because xviper says so.

But if you do it, just make sure you get them phased properly, or the second one will undo the beneficial effects of the first one -- the first one will vortexize the intake air just like it's supposed to, but the second one, if you mount it the wrong way, will unvortexize it.

Then you'll have spent all that money for nothing. HPH

I'm selling "phase inducers" on ebay. 20 bucks, for a limited time only, I'll send you 2 of them, PLUS, if you act now, I'll send you a 2" strip of litmus paper so you can test the air/air mixture after it goes through to be assured of that perfectly generated vortex.

Thing is, when you bought your vortex generator, EVERYBODY was buying them, so I had a market for my inducers. Now that not many people are getting the BIG HP bug from those things, I have to almost give the damn things away.

Try it, it's only $15.

I can see the principal behind it, but doubt it will work.

I've found an even better alternative to this and it's a DUAL vortex generator ................
