Default Tornado Turbos

Sitting here in class and my buddy is telling my teacher to invest in a tornado turbo, the piece that goes into your airfilter i guess bacially the same thing as a turbonator. I tried to tell him and my teacher its not worth the money and wont do **** for you, he storngly believes it will because his dads friend has one and he said it works. So Lets Hear What You All Think...... worth it or not, and explain why.

Its a piece of crap. Its does nothing more than restrict your air intake even further. I have even heard of them breaking apartand causing some serious damage. That kid is a complete moron if he believes they work. People like that are the reason that companies like that stay in business.

Since the person trying to do the convincing is a student I say they go ahead and throw him out of school now.That person is an idiot and no further tax dollars need to be spent trying to educate the ignorant.Sterilize him also so he doesn't reproduce.
If the "teacher" buys one of these,he should get the same.

Haha wow first sign he knows absolutly nothing, he drives a 4 door saturn, he shoulda just stoped there, but nooo you GOTTA have the big wing for the traction on ur non drive rear wheels, and then claiming a couple of fixed metal blades gives you 20 hp on an engine probably making like 150hp is just stupidity at its purist form. tell him to dyno it with it on and with it off and see whats he has to say then...

I ask only to get the answers i know i will get and then show it to my buddy whos a complete idiot and my teacher to keep him from ****ing himself over. Thank you all for contributing, i also asked the 4.6 question because well for one i was afraid to ask the 6er section for obvious reasons....and it is a tech section so you all seemed like good candidates.
