Is This A Joke Or What?

---Just read this--- ELECTRONIC TURBOCHARGER KIT
This is not your everyday, run of the mill Turbo Kit. This is an all new, never before releasted Electronic Turbo Kit. Dont waste money on Greedy, garrett, XS, Drag or other turbo products. This is a one time cost that will never need more than a new air filter.
What kinda boost am i going to get with something like this? Well, a t-3 turbo puts out a max of 650cfm(cubic feet per minute) and thats at top spool. This turbo puts out upto 600 cfm at half the spool up time and a 10th of the cost.
- So is this the new technology thats coming out right now? Has anyone ever heard of the results this gives??? Or is it bull?

kind of sounds like those "supercharge any car for $69" ads in the back of car magazines. i would say it is probably a scam

I read a magazine article that had a similar set up. It released a little more power but obviouslu not as much as a preper set up.

If it is the same as I say, it basically just forces more air in with some sort of fan. Very strange.

Yea, its a rip off dude, it looks cool but i highly doubt that it would make a significant power increase. Otherwise everybody would have one.

Can you believe ppl are actually bidding on these things.
HEHEHEHE

That is to funny. When you think turbo it reminds you of a hair dryer but this thing is to close to a hair dryer that its scary!

"TURBOCHARGE ANY CAR, BID NOW!"

Sounds like an infomercial, like those turbine like wheels that go in the intake to force more air.

 

[boostineklipz]

i hear it actually blocks air flow and makes your car slower

It's a scam to make money. I'm sure it does lower engine performance.

Sport Compact Car did an article on the "Tornado" (I think that's what they called it). It advertises something like 25HP and is a passive twist blade that "swirls" the air passing into the intake. Well, it turns out that Sport Compact couldn't get a LOSS of less than (I think) 7HP. So how do they claim +25HP without fraud suits. Turns out the company making them used a Clayton Dyno. This is known as one of the most inaccurate dynos out there. They had runs varying by almost 40HP. So they just took the lowest pre-mod run and the highest post-mod runs and said they gained 25HP. In essence, the passive blade/fan types won't do squat. Someone was offering an electric fan type thing to force feed a car. That might do something, but without anyway to control it, I would be worried.

Tornado! That's what it was thanks. Yes I a agree passive blades will do nothing, you would need something either powered by gasses or crank (I.E a turbo or sCharger) or something electrically powered which would be very efficient at all unless you have a generator in your trunk.

I think it is funny that it is up to $260!!
I cannot even believe that the seller was comparing it to another turbo!!!

It looks like a blower motor from an interior automotive system placed in a cheap plastic 'turbo-resembling' housing.

What some people will sell/buy!!

HEY! Don't bust on that bad ass performance part.... Don't tell anyone but it utilizes a garrett wheel.. SHHHHH!!!

I was just messing around on Ebay the other day and found a whole slew of these things, the same ad in every one, but they say it'll only work in one kind of car... whatever.

i also found 2 types, there is the one that looks like a turbo (and might work if you did alot of xtra stuff... on a n/a car), and another that is just a fan, and claims like 40 hp increase! I found out it is just a fan for clearing exhaust gases from an inboard boat... haha, sucks for all of the people who bought them, i guess the guy is making like 2000 a night with the 10 dollar exhaust fans.
