retards have been selling those things for a while now in Ebay. they put up all kinds of stuff selling as "low pressure turbochargers" i even saw an injector fan from an old datsun Z car being sold for 125 as a turbo type thing. i dont think its so sad that people are selling them. whats sad is that people are BUYING them. we have some seriously stupid people in this world. for all the people here new to cars that think this idea or a variant of it would work.....it wont. there is no way something like this could flow enough air to even bring an engine out of vaccum much less make boost. its a scam, a cash flow device. to flow cash from buyers pocket to the sellers.

You guys should really stop bashing on peacekeeper. But anyway, this is probably one of the most craziest ebay auctions regarding rx-7's I have ever seen!

Yeah... the'll disappear from laughing so hard they wreck. Ok... for the newbies that don't get it... this doesn't work. The people that put it here, did it as a JOKE. It's a SCAM. Get it?

Alright, that thing on ebay is obviously a scam, and those people calling those things turbochargers or superchargers or whatever is complete B.S. However, my cousin did buy on of those Tornado things from the infomertials for his Cheep ( 
he hates it when I call it that)...anyways, he said he noticed an imediate difference in response and fuel efficiency. I drove it and from what I remember of the power before, it seemed to me to have more too.
Just thought id throw this in there.

Well atleast if it doesn't increase power in your car, it'll make an excellent hair dryer! Or you could always sell it to some guy who drives a chevette. They need all the help they can get!

New Pontiac Grand Ams come with those tornado thingies on them stock. I know someone that got the oil changed on his grand am and the guy changing his oil says, " Do you want to sell this car?"
"What"
"I'll buy this off you. Whoever had it before you did some serious illegal mods. It's even got a Supercharger that's off the Books"
So the owner of the car kept talking crap about how his car had a supercharger and it had been super illegally modified. It was amazing at the amount of chaos that a plastic fan in a cereal box car can do.
The worste thing is, I don't think the guy changing his oil was messing with him, they both thought it was a super modded grand am with an "illegal supercharger"
Anyways he kept talking crap about how fast his car was so my bro smoked him with a stock XT-6. Funny stuff
