it like a turbine blade that fits in you intake to spin the air and help the fuel mix with the air better

Im pretty sure that thing is a bunch of crap, it can spin the air all it wants, the air temp will still be the same.

We have 1 down here called a Hyclone. I know 1 guy who fitted 1 to his diesel 4wd and said it improved the fuel eccon & power, but the reports I've read on these say they don't show any gains & in some cases cars run worse.

Tornado? Don't buy it. It's useless. It can't force any additional air into your engine at all. It's pointless and crap. It's a big marketing scandal. They marketed it well and a bunch of people believe it.

Get a Cold Air Intake, and possibly a Throttle Body and bored intake Manifold.... that's if you want to do it the right way.

in theory, it could work.. just not as an add on to your throttlebody. By the time the air goes through the intake manifold and past the valves.. any sort of cyclonic movement it had is long since disappated.. NOW... I wonder what would happen if you rifled the intake runners...

you laugh.. that is a trick with turbo drag cars... dry ice on the intercooler works wonders
