Does the turbonator work on any car?

Absolutely not. The idea behind it is convincing - placing an item in your intake system that will cause the air to 'vortex' like a tornado, thus increasing the velocity of the air coming in and increasing horsepower and mileage.

However, we all know that placing something in the intake would obstruct air flow. And when air flow is obstructed, it slows down. Not only that, but an ECU from the factory is tuned for the stock air flow coming in. Messing with this doesn't help. In the end, you can conclude that this is a scam. Simply from the fact that they state massive horsepower and fuel economy gains for such a cheap price should make you ponder its legitimacy. Simply put, putting this on your car will only worsen things, not help.

Does a turbonator or something similar really give you more hp and can it hurt your car?

Turbonator, Tornado, Cyclone, or whatever they are called, simply do not work. They do not increase H.P. nor Mileage. In fact they may hurt both. The Turbonator makes this claim and I quote. "More Power: Are you looking for more power from your wheels? Whether you have a stock or aftermarket intake system, the Turbonator can add up to 35 horsepower to your vehicle.* Fuel Savings : Turbonator users have reported MPG increases from 10 to 22 percent. Results will vary depending on your driving habits and the condition of your vehicle". These claims alone should send you running. A 22 percent increase in MPG on a car already getting 25 would be 5.5 MPG. Also a claim of an increase of 35 H.P. is ridiculous. The swirl effect they claim to create is already there with a stock system. There is no magic device to increase H.P. except a computer tuning chip. They will increase H.P. but usually at the expense of Mileage. Things like headers, dual exhaust, will give you a slight increase but at a high cost.

Does the turbonator increase gas mileage?

It depends on which car you are talking about. I don't know specifically what cars will benefit. But from my personal experience with the Tornado (basically the same thing as the Turbonator), i gained only a couple mpg on my 85 Monte Carlo ss and gain nothing on my 04 dodge neon. your best bet is to look up the tornado on eBay and find one cheap if you want to try it out. if it doesnt work, take it out and throw it back on eBay.Answeronly in theory. it poses as a restriction to airflow. the less air the engine is getting the less fuel it needs.
