I wouldn't touch this with a 10ft pole. Lump it with snake oil, electric turbo's and other vapor ware.
The only way to get forced induction is with a true turbo, or supercharger. Electric superchargers do increase power, however the problem is that they draw massive amounts of electricity to do it. Inducing a very large load on the electrical system which creates more parasytic loss and defeats any of the gains from the electric s/c in the first place. Don't get it. Don't get the Tornado fuel saver either. Also, don't mod the MAF sensor! Instead mod the tables to match the engine mods you have. The only reason to mod the maf resistance is if the MAF cannot read beyond a certain CFM (common problem with turboing a n/a MAF car that has a 1bar sensor). MAF translators are only used to allow the MAF to read more air flow, but at the expense of resolution so it won't read as accurately. Go visit a Buick Grand National forum and read up on the 3.8L V6 Turbo. They run MAF translators with LT1 mafs as a common mod, but there is some serious tuning to go along with it. |
