Are you referring to the "turbonator" or the "bikini clad model" featured in the video ?!

The Brits have been doing ones called hiclones for years. I found out about them during my 4wd days. They are supposed to increase the flow rate by diverting the air through a static turbine blade. They've been tested by the mags and like anything else, some notice a difference and some don't, depends on the condition of your engine in the first place.

Hi,

Have a look at the HiClone site.

But again, like these Magnetic in-line things. If they worked, manufacturers would be fitting them as standard, would they not??

£50 plus VAT and delivery.
Two required if you have an intercooler or Turbo!

Thus the US Turbonator is much cheaper inc the duty..
So sent the Hiclone guys a rip-off message..

The magnetic version is a worthless bit of junk for the following reasons

The magnets sit around the fuel pipes most of these are metal already if they're not totally metal they have a metal webbing or shielding of some type.
All the magnets will do, in rare cases and they aren't powerful enough, is split the fuel atoms ie mildly magnetise the hydrogen/lead/other nasty stuff (we don't use lead in fuels anymore)

You won't notice a lot of difference with one if you must fit anything then fit the hyclone it may work it may not

Or if you want real difference larger engine and or turbocharge it
