Tornado MPG Saver
 
Anyone seen or heard about these. It sounds to good to be true that it helps MPG and gives more horsepower.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TORNA...em120228244274

Is this something worth looking into?

Do a title only search for 'Tornado' then delete your post to save the ridicule your about to receive.

i think you and the guy asking about the electric turbo should hang out.

cornholio135 03-12-2008 03:49 PM

this guy is obviously a new user. seems on here that newbies get bashed and told "did you search for it???" :rant: I will be the courteous one and answer his question:lol:

Sushi, these and similar items on ebay that promise " more MPG and More HP " are usally useless devices. you probably have seen the "perfromance chips" and other " tornado effect" devices. Do not bother with these products. I would do the normal upgrades. Intake, Exhaust, Pulleys, Ground Kit. these are NA upgrades that are common. Hopefully this helps...

nelsonrx8 03-12-2008 03:54 PM

these thing work great i love mine i save gas greater HP and sounds sweet go for it

Speaking of Search, a search would have revealed this thread.

If you are just as dumb as the OP and believe the Tornado will work then you both should get rid of your cars and take the Short Bus to school.

expo1 03-12-2008 05:01 PM

The main thing about this scam that makes it worse that the .05 power chip is all you need to do is open the hood and look at the intake system to tell it can't work. A stupid question is one thing, not taking the time to even look at what is under the hood is another.

Wow, if you guys talk to an idiot this bad on the forum... I wonder how us as a community acts towards the same idiots on the road.... I know how I act....

Funny I guess your the dumb one as if you could read you would see I never said I believed it. I said it is "to good to be true" and just wondered if anyone heard anything about it. Guess I should take the short bus :rolleyes:

And to the rest of you, screw you. These are forums, not all of us have hours to search all over, I searched and only pulled up something else with the word tornado in it and it was not what I posted. Who cares, if you dont want to read it dont. Otherwise grow the hell up and just ignore it. I hate to break it to you but forums are meant for posting and asking questions. If you dont like it then I highly suggest you pick something else as you are always going to be frustrated. Also pay attention because I never said I was getting it or going to, just never seen anything like it and it seemed stupid so I thought I would ask if anyone has done anything like this.

To Cornholio. Yes I am new here, and never owned a RX8. I am no car expert, I know enough to do damage, hehe. I am a IT guy, we cant all know everything so that is my expertise. Thanks for the answer. I figured it was BS, but the fact they try to say "guaranteed" made me wonder, so I just figured I would ask if anyone has seen anything about them. No biggie, thanks for a normal and intelligent response.:)

If you can't take five minutes out of your day to go through two searched threads regarding your situation then why should we, as the community, answer your question?

LOL wow such a internet tough guy. I guess I am a moron, you are just to cool for me. I posted this at work and searched really quick and didnt see anything, so made a quick post and thats all. Hmmm I wonder what is more pathetic , me just posting something simply asking, or you getting your panties stuck in your twat and acting like a douche on the internet. Hmmmm I wonder. :lol: Also you are right, no one has to respond to my thread if they dont want to. I didnt ask anyone to take precious time out of their day to answer my question. Funny how you waste time to post garbage, wouldnt it be better to just ignore?

And also I will be the first to admin I dont know much about cars. How much do you know about Servers, Cisco, Citrix and other stuff. Point is we all have strengths and weaknesses. No one knows everything. ;)

Here all they can do is call me a name, and I can care less what someone calls me on a board. On the road they have few tons of steel so I calmly let all aholes pass me and I arrive at my destination in one piece.

If you read this on the internet :

"It is OK to hold The Grenade in your hand with the SAFETY PIN OUT, IT WILL NOT BLOW UP! If you want to get laid FAST, this is the FASTEST way to let the chicks know that you're a REAL man"

Will you do it?

Hint : "Common Sense"

Sometimes, you dont really have to "ask" something to know the answer. Have you been sitting in front of your screen for too long & the radiation killed ur brain cells or something ?

Wow, did you even go to school? I guess you did, and I bet you said shit like "Not all of us have hours to do our own fucking homework !"

if you put enough effort, you will learn.

Grow the hell up and try to learn shit on your own, and use some god damn common sense.

You dont even own an Rx8 then, then what was this post all about ? are you trying to impress us of how stupid you're ?

Im an IT guy myself, moreover I think MOST of the IT guys are morons. Sadly, you seems to be part of that group. Please do us IT guys a favor, DO NOT tell people that you're working in the IT industry, it is people like you who made ppl think all IT guys look like ppl working at Geek Squad.

OR

you could just attach some O2 bung holes right at the tips... Insert spark plug, remove catalytic converter, apply fun... Can't deny that I haven't left some idiots engulfed in flames just because how they drive around me.

Getting at a destination in one piece is what the brakes, airbags, and steering wheel is for...

Geek Squad is the McDonald's of the IT field. Would you like a RAM upgrade with that?
