In their defense, there is a big difference between the air circulating through a turbocharger and the actual twisting vortex that their product aims to achieve.* One is like driving around in a circle, the other is like rolling your vehicle.

No it's not. It's absolutely nothing in the remote vastness beyond realism close to what you just described.

a turbo charger is like adding a high-pressure water pump to your water line.

that thing is like adding a toilet

I suppose that is a good comparison, because this device isn't aiming to increase pressure per se, just create a vortex.* Hmm.* Do you know if you can find a toilet that would fit through the opening in the hood of the H2?
