In every magazine test I've ever read all it has done is restrict airflow and drop the horsepower on the rollers.

Sorry about that.

Have you noticed the statement on the website where it makes the product can add up to 35 horsepower claim has a little star at the end which basically means read the small print..

the small print has wonderfull statements such as

CLAIMS ARE BASED ON THE REPORTS OF CUSTOMERS
VARIABLES WHICH MAY IMPACT INDIVIDUAL USER EXPERIENCES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO; VEHICLE MAKE, VEHICLE MODEL, VEHICLE MODEL YEAR, ACCRUED VEHICLE MILEAGE, VEHICLE CONDITION (INCLUDING AGE AND CONDITION OF RELEVANT PARTS AND COMPONENTS), AND TIRE PRESSURE. AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS MADE IN CONJUNCTION WITH, BEFORE, OR AFTER THE INSTALLATION OF THE TURBONATOR SUCH AS AFTERMARKET AIR INTAKE SYSTEMS, VARIOUS BRANDS AND TYPES OF AIR FILTERS, AND PRODUCTS WHICH INFLUENCE THE AIR/FUEL MIXTURE INCLUDING PERFORMANCE CHIPS
TURBONATOR MAKES AVAILABLE REPORTS FROM ACTUAL CUSTOMERS AS OPPOSED TO MAKING CLAIMS BASED ON STERILE LAB TESTING
CLAIMS RELATING TO HORSEPOWER ARE BASED ON USER FEEDBACK FROM TURBONATOR OWNERS
Personally speaking the fact they they do not offer any testing to back up the claims and appear to be taking the word or customers without knowing the condition of the vehicle, the knowledge of the customer with regards to motor vehicles not to mention some may be suffering from the placebo effect... makes me pretty convinced its a gimmick.

If it was any good and made worthwile improvements it could be proved under testing... even on a dyno

See those WRC teams should have not spent money developing those less efficient and extra expensive turbocharger systems... they should have followed a different path
