Default turbonator vs elec. sprchrger

anyone know anything about these and if they actually do anything. the turbonator is a piece of metal that has bent edges to shape the air into a swirl form. The electric supercharger connects onto the cai and pushes 2-3 psi (it says) into the intake. I was just wondering if anyone out there knew any information on these

when i bought my mustang and installed my cai i fould one of those turbonator things in the stock intake.... honestly it's a peice of garbage... if you want to wasete 30 bucksfill up95 octain instead... people who swear by it are full of ****.. it dosen't do anything to help your car.. if there was any effects you would only be able to see it on a dyno and it would pribably bevery minimal...
and i never heard of the electric supercharge... sounds intresting though... but if you plan to add anything electronic to yer stang you better get a better alternntor...
just my opinion on these topics...

Both are garbage, and poorly manufactured. I'd be wary of little pieces breaking and flying into my intake.....don't waste your money.

there are stickies here that tell you they are trash, and you can go on google and look up ACTUAL reviews not the paid bias'd opinions. people have reported hundreds/thousands of dollars in damage to their car because of these cheap pieces of crap. if they actually worked...you would know about it. horsepower doesnt come cheap...your not gonna get that advertised 30+ horsepower off a dinky piece of aluminum or a 20$electrical fan.

Well even though this topic has been beaten dead, tared/feathered, and burned to a tender cripse, I'll still put in my two cents and say that they're worse than waterycat crap.

They are every bit as good as the magnet you put over your fuel line that gives you more gas mileage.

Hell if in any since they could even deprive you of hp if there switched off. Like putting a sock in your intake.
