Default does this stuff work???

Just curious if anyone has tried out the "turbomag" a device that hooks up to your fuel line to give you better mileage. Or if anyone has tried out the flo-blade, the device that goes into your intake to create a vortex of air. Everything i have tried on ebay has been garbage so far, so i was wondering if anyone out there has tried these products.

As far as I've heard, all those things that go into your intake tube are all garbage.
My buddy tried the turbonator on his truck and it does jack

haha I was just looking at those, I've never tried them, but I bet they don't work. If it was that simple they'd be more people zip tieing magnets to their fuel lines.

No they dont work. I dont even know why i bought them but that was a looong time ago. but they dont do any effect i can tell you that much. when people get it, they like to believe that it works so they say it does.

In fact, i bet the flo-blade blocks for air than letting air through in a spiral. when i used to have one, it pretty much covered the pipe's passage except for the little vents....so yeh.

And there is a reason why the turbo mag claims "It works after several tanks of gas." So that when people get them, they will have to wait for that long period of time, and then they will just happen to believe it because they dont really keep an acurate track in that amount of time.
