:rofl: That's the cheeziest attempt at a turbo I have ever seen!!! All it is is a little electric motor between the intake and filter. It probably connects to an accessory line, and runs at one fixed RPM all the time. Anyone who buys that I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell them.

:rofl: I can't believe people are actually willing to pay 200 bucks for that...all it is is a cheap ass intake and an electric motor that runs at a fixed RPM. Electric turbocharger :rofl:

I say if people are stupid enough to believe that then they deserve to get ripped off.

that reminds me of the turbos that they claimed had mad cfm's. most of the buyers had no clue that turbo runs off boost and that those fans were marine blowers
