Do a search on it dude (the button on the top right). You'll read everything we've ever said about that rip-off POS.

Cmon, you searched to find out what the turbonator is, but you didn't fill us all in. Now I have to search to find out what it is!

rofl...

In a completely stock 99' Dodge Neon sport, I gained ten horses and went from 34-37 wheel horsepower to 44-47 wheel horsepower (using a G-Tech Pro performance meter). I have also noted (when I drive responsibly) a gain in gas mileage. I also lost a full second off my Quarter-mile times; from 16.8 to 15.8 and probably could have done better with more time with the G-Tech." -Francis Mize (Cincinnati,OH)

omfg he's claiming such accurate readings from his g-tech, 34 whp...hahahaha

Dang, the 1.2l OHV I-4 from my Datsun 210 puts more power than that stock (69hp at the fly). Go A12A!

i think the horsepower is closer than the 1/4...maybe hes thinking 1/8 mile time?
