Default Whats this all about?

Just wanted to hear your guys thoughts on this.



This is a brand new never used electric turbo blower that connects to your intake.. the blowers intake is 3 inches wide and the compressor outlet is also 3 inches,, It is powered from your 12 volt battery and produces 200 cubic feet per minute.Normal superchargers and turbos produce anywhere from 300-600 CFM BUT give your motor great risk of damage, so why not pay 1/20th the price to have a safe way to go with forced induction. normaly people mount a on and off switch "from an autoparts store" and are able to toggle the electric motor on and off depending on when you want that little boost. NO reserve , happy bidding

el crapo. It's a gimmic. I think that they could work, but it would take a good company with good manufacturing and the money for the R&D. Walk away man...

Its garbage and won't work. Well...I take that back...it might but to an extent. That turbo has an electric motor and doesn't run off your exhaust flow..so once that electric motor reaches as fast as it can go, thats it. Sometimes the electric motors don't spin as fast as the exhaust flow and can actually restrict flow causing you to lose power...believe it or not. Thats why its a lot cheaper then an actual turbo...cause its not that big of a difference.

My friend tried to take a blower...I think it was...that he found at a boat shop and put in in with his intake and he said he could feel power off the line but said when he reached high speed he felt the power fading...probabaly due to restriction of the air and it not being able to feed the air as much. Hopefully that answers it
