It's the Tornado Fuel Saver, which promises to increase power by about 10 hp and save fuel for up to 28%

It is a device that you fit between the airflow pipe and the manifold intake. It blows incomming air into the manifold in a tornado motion.

I'll try and provide the link http://www.myauto.tv/tornado/?referal=79920995.

is this some Yankee gimic?

well centrifugal circulation of air through a tunnel is more efficient than straight through, but all it does it cut down the friction of the air against the side walls of the intake... in the grand scheme of thigs, on a turbo car where the intake can be sucking air in so fast it can suck a stone in, it maskes absolutely bugger all difference.

So yeah yankee money making gimmick.

I never heard this shit before.

Anyway another question, I grew up in Melbourne and have been living Brisbane for last three years. I reckon there are more skylines between Bribane and the gold coast then

anywhere in Australia.

What do you reckon or is it that I only see what I am interested in?

in the last three years the number of imports in melbourne has exploded. On my last trip up to brissy I saw more GTSt's badged as GTR's than anything else, but yeah they got some really nicely done up imports there. I reckon the import scene in both cities is on par atm.

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt that exactly what a turbo does?

If its an electric fan sort of thing, where are you going to get the kilowatts of power required? Isnt that why you have an exhaust housing of a turbo, to drive the impellor?

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
