Fuel Genie
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???????
