Default Electronic Turbo?

Has anyone tried one of those new electronic turbos supposidly they are pretty good but only boost like 1/3-1/2 the amount of a norm turbo which is still ok if you dont want to spend all the money on a good one. let me know if anyone has installed one and tested it.

It's a waste of money. And it's up there with the electronic supercharger, tornado cookie-cutter, and front mount air filter.

Id like to see the car on the dyno like an actual video because that is hard to believe.

actually we have been sniffing the n20. with the aproval from the ny-trex nitrous oxide company. were now adding the electric turbo to their n2o kits. and are now available as a 3 stage kit. you can use the e-turbo alone, the n20 alone, or combine the 2 together. you can giggle at the dyno results all you want to. the last time i checked the dyno doesn't lie. people who giggle at dyno results are the ones that if it was on a video or dynoed in front of them, they still would not believe it anyways. correct????

I think that page about sums up electronic super chargers. They are a total waste of time and money. Don't let this creep try to convince you they work becaus he sells them. hfawk:
