you can gain 100hp but you have to convert to ITB and get one for each TB.

Don't waste your money... Buy a real turbo.

good one is over $1,000 atleast or unless you build your own which might be cheaper (www.homemadeturbo.com) the HP gains are almost unlimited depending on how much you want to boost, and what your car can handle

Personally, in my life experience I have found there are no magic cure-alls. The turbonator is no exception.

You might get a little horsepower gain (~1-3), but I would stay away from something eletrical that "adds" power like the turbonator. Save your money for a better upgrade, like a turbo, or even swap the engine. I used to want power first, but now I want handling, CRXs can do crazy shit!
