Yes it works Jeff,but for the best results you need a high-flow air filter like a K&N,at least a stock replacement type,or even better yet if you can spare the cash,an FIPK kit which are around $200.00.Forget a standard stock replacement filter made of paper,they dont flow enough air to make the tornado work efficiently.You need at least a stock replacement K&N mentioned above,theyre about $50.00 Hope this helps.

Radiator Leaks
IP: Logged

Message:
Hi fellow Dakota owners!

I have a 93 Dakota Club Cab with the 5.2 liter engine. This truck has been great for me with the exception that the radiator has developed leaks twice now. The first time, it was still under warranty and the dealer replaced the entire radiator. That fixed it for a while but now at the end of this winter, I noticed it is dripping transmission oil from the base of the radiator and the fan is blowing fluid all over the place. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a defect? I spose I will have to get it pressure checked and figure out the most cost effective way to repair it. Just wondering if anyone else has been down this road. Thanks!

The Tornado Fuel Saver is a waste of money... it will not make a difference on a MPFI engine...

I tested one on my '97 V6 with NO gains in HP, TQ, or mileage. Then...moved it to my wifes Jeep GC with no gains either.

They're not worth the money. Invest in a modified throttle body as they are proven to gain HP and TQ.

this tornado idea is working well.
my other car (inf g20) has 23 mpg gets up to 26 mpg (mixed city and highway driving)
btw it cost me only 2 dollars and a few hours.
why? because I made it myself using tin sale-sign from walmart.
how? 1. go to the internet, 2. research on swirlers design, 3. take the inner diameter of your intake, 4. use the tin cutter to cut the sale-sign, viola you got yourself a swirler.

The tornado is actually hindering air flow since
the air has to bounce off the fins and change
direction.
Secondly, do you actually think you still have a
tornado swirl to your incoming air after it pases
your TB and gets into your manifold chambers?
