Lightbulb Tornado Air Management System

The tornado air management system usually boost gas mileage 7-24%. This is a very inexpensive way to save a little bit of fuel and also boost the horse power by 4-13hp. Great way to save gas in these hard times. You can order them online, ebay, and some auto parts store carry them in stock. Hopefully this helps everyone.

Default Tornado System

I tried this on my car and it did not work. Instead I got less mileage instead of more. Maybe, I am doing something wrong? It didn't work when I had it in and when I took it out I got my regular mileage back.

i was a skeptic when i first came across this product as well. my sister bought one and tried it on her car. she did not notice any significant gains in mileage or horsepower....pretty much a waste of money for her.

Exactly what is this product and how much does it cost? I've never even heard of that...and what is it suppose to do? Like how is it suppose to raise the mileage of your car?

If I'm right, this is supposed to somehow reroute the air so that it helps to make the fuel form into a finer mist for optimum burning, or am I thinking of something else?

Default Tornado System

Well, the tornado air system is actually suppose to increase air flow for more efficient burning of fuel. However, I don't think the air that flows in is fast enough to create that cyclone (tornado) effect that it is claiming. Your engine I believe is set to burn an amount of fuel and the air currently flowing into the engine is enough to combust all of the fuel. Having anything in between may just inhibit the combustion process.

I tried this because it was given to me. I didn't notice any increase in horsepower or any gas millage increase. In the end I was really happy I didn't spend any money on it.

Its best not to try tornado air management sys as it only tries to boost at a max of 2-3 % unlike 7-24% u have given. Some faces failures when trying to adapt it .
And even its so expensive.

I remember when this product first came about about 2-3 years ago. Our local consumer news reporter took one to a car shop and had them measure horse power before and after installation of the Tornado. Results: no change.
