Anyone tried one of those Fuel Genie's, or Tornadoes? Those things that vortex your intake air... A guy at a local performance shop wants to put three in my CTD. One behind the filter, one after the turbo, and one exiting the aftercooler. Consumer reports says none of these things work, but they only tested them on two vehicles. And none of them have as much intake plumbing as our CTD's. He says he's had success with them on other stuff, but I'd like to hear that someone else in the world has seen gains... They're $80 each!!

If fuel hits $4 per gallon (CNN seems to think it will) then maybe it'll be worth it???????

 

 

I hope you were wearing your boots when he was talking....

 

That's what I was thinking and why I brought it up.. Just wanted to hear it from someone else..... Thanks

 

popular machanic did a test with them and 10 other types of gas saving gizmos last month and dynoed each. every one used more fuel and the tornado type lost 24 HP after the install...if its to good to be true .. its not your hy/35 turns the air more

 

Picked up the Popular Mechanics issue.. Don't have to worry about me asking anymore stupid questions like that!!!!

I especially liked the one gizmo that caught on fire!!
