    Looking to try some mods on my Detroit Diesel. I was talking to a driver at Flying J and he said he was getting 1/2 mile per gallon using a Turbo 3000. Anyone got any news on this item?

    In my opinion the only people having luck with them are the snake oil salesman selling them,...

    Save your money,....

    I'm still amazed that things like the turbo 3000, hho, those stickers you put on your fuel tanks, and all the other garbage with a fancy name and website claiming to do magic are allowed to exist. The people that come up with these schemes to cheat people should go to jail forever.

    Save you money or use it on a fuel temp harness. I never noticed any differance n fuel, it maybe ran a little smother but that's about it

    If it was that awesome, don't you think CAT, Cummins, Detroit would have bought the rights and installed them into their engines.

    I guess the majority rules. Nobody here got any increase in fuel mileage with the Turbo 3000. I appreciate you helping me keep money in my pocket. Thanks

    If a gizmo says it will save 10% of your fuel, put on eleven of them, and that way you will need an overflow on your tanks, cuz you'll be making something from nothing!

    Any product being sold that says it will save fuel, that cannot provide SAE test data should be ignored.

    funny thing about the turbo3000 it suposedly takes x amount of miles to break in,

    why dont they offer the turbo3000 free to everyone, they could take your credit card number but no charge until the break in period is reached.

    then the owner can send it back or accept the charge on his card.

    the turbo3000 guys would then have unit's broke in and instantly ready to save the next owner money:D
