The tornado... $60 snake oil as far as I'm concerned. I do not own one... but think about it. Does it really matter what the air is doing infront of your filter?? Especially with modern fuel injection, where everything is regulated down to the millisecond?

Tornado does nothing on modern cars, have dyno charts to prove it. Unlike a carb motor where it can sit on top of the carb and spiral the air into it aiding atomization this thing sits in the intake, goes through the TB, through the manifold, through the tumble generators, past the injectors, and into the cylinder. Most importantly it goes through a turbo, which completely negates any affect that it might have, which it doesnt. The sound that you here is the normal sound the WRX makes when the turbo kicks in, try taking that thing out and you'll here the same thing.

Tornado is snake oil, stay away.

Oh well, its cool, if you wanna beleive what people say in infomercials without having any backround knowledge to understand why or why not it's bull**** thats cool.

you will beat the rx7 easly. If it was manual that would be a different story though. The auto trannies on the 7 basically....suck. The rx7 will be running high 15's. Easy win for you
