Ebay Turbo Kit Question

Can anybody tell me if this item really works? It sounds too good to be true.

Short answer - ripoff. Don't waste your money.

Yeah, that thing is used for venting bilge and engine compartments in marine applications and for furnace ducting in RV applications. These ******** on eBay are being deceptive when they say "supercharger" and **** like that.

Maybe it's me but if I would ever purchase a turbo or supercharger it'd be with the help of people on this forum. granted i'm a huge dumbass when it comes to motors but it dosen't take much common sense to see that this is Bulloney. If you can't buy it used from a person on the forum i figure it's not worth getting.
-that's a huge thanks to everybody who's answered my stupid questions in the past.-

Real upgrades cost money. And not cheap money i've learned either.

That thing looks like it should have the words "Fisher Price" on it.

if it's a turbo and it says "intake" and not "exhaust" it's a ripoff.

What a forking joke. Do you have any idea how much power it takes to turbo an engine? Here's a hint... It is a helluva lot more than an electric fan can provide.
