Default Turbonator?

Has anyone tried this and if you have do you notice any change in performance/mileage If they do work
I have a K&N trilpe take air filters - would I just get one for the center filter or would I have to get for all three. See the price for $69.99 each but I've seen it for sale for $36.97 new on ebay

You know, I have been urged by some non corvette owners to get one of those. I don't have first hand experience with turbonators but I hear all kinds of testimonies from my buddies. I know this isn't much help but thought I would chime in since I had heard things from real people and not just ads. From what I hear, they are supposed to atomize the fuel for a better burn. That can't be all bad huh?

. . . "From what I hear, they are supposed to atomize the fuel for a better burn. That can't be all bad huh?"

Yeah, and maybe they work on carburated cars. I've heard mixed results, but then it doesn't cost much to try.

But you might think about just how much effect they really could have on a fuel injected car, where the fuel is "atomized" as it is shot out of the fuel injectors, far downstream from the tubonator's location.

Thanks for the replies. Iknow it's just the stainless fan blades they really don't force more air into the engine. You get what you pay for I guess I should juist save for a turbo or supercharger.
