I'm looking into getting a Twister Gas Saver from eBay, or possibly the Turbonator from www.turbonator.com. Has anyone used one? I have a '95 ST Hatch that I'm looking to put it in. Any and all feedback will be appreciated.

And yes i had a few of my customers actually go dyno test them too. I had one customer who had a 04 Z06..he bought one..went to the dyno..base lined it...ran it again with the tornado in...gained 4HP. |

Cosumer Report, here (Protégez-vous) tested these kind of twisted tomato juice can. Worst results: Higher fuel consumption, Best results: even. So, what you think of it now
 Anyway, your Celica isn't suppose to be fuel efficient??? I do 7.1l/100km (30.2mpg) It's good enough for me! This post has been edited by GrimReaper: Aug 27, 2007 - 8:45 PM --------------------  |
