question about the "Tornado"

I recently purchased a 2005 Lancer OZ edition. After driving my friends evo I now realize that my lnacer is a little down on power to say the least. I have done a few mods like a K&N airfilter and exhaust tip. It is still down on power. I just purchased one of these tornados that go into your intake and a boost gauge. I have two questions how much boost does the tornado put out and how do I install the boost gauge. I'm really pumped up to be boosting.thanks in advance

Do you even know how useless a tornado is? Do you know what boost means? Do you know how the Evo is faster than a Lancer? Do you know that the differences are between the Lancer Evolution Engine (4G63) and the Lancer Engine (4G94)? You should ask yourselves these questions and search for answers before you even create a thread. You should learn how an engine operates and how it makes power.

okay…in all seriousness man…don’t install the tornado because it’s a joke
and a boost gauge?...return it and get your money back asap because you have ZERO use for it…ZERO!

get tints and rims and end it there...

if you want more power…buy an evo and don’t modify it at all...just drive it…please

those questions are useless to ask, I am simply asking how to install these things, not how useless it is or what boost is or the engine differences or how its faster

yes, unless you turbo it…and that’s a big project witch will involve many other components…so, just don’t do it.
and do yourself a big favor…before you make a new post with questions, do a lot of research first…a lot.

im sorry but your wasting your time posting here. the tornado is a joke. like most things you see on QVC.. it does not make boost. and since you dont have any kind of forced induction you will not need a boost gauge. the tornado does not make boost. it was actually proven to abrupt air flow and give porer gas mileage. so if you install it you will make even less power then you already have. witch seems what you DONT want to do.

im being honest with you. if you cant listen to what i just said then your on your own.

I know a thread is bad when I have to use the "Select all" function for deleting...

Closing the thread. I doubt duddy will be back with that marvelous reception you jerks gave him. Worst case, he now knows that the Tornado won't help his car.
