I suppose if it actually gets you out of the vacuum manifold up to a positive manifold pressure, that'd be worth something at least.

It was designed to "look" right...

I wonder though, would you need a plastic IC to cool down all that 600 cfm air at .001 psi?

Holy crap. That's funny.

What kinda boost am i going to get with something like this? Well, a t-3 turbo puts out a max of 650cfm(cubic feet per minute) and thats at top spool. This turbo puts out upto 600 cfm at half the spool up time and a 10th of the cost.

Hmm... That's actually 480+ CFM @15psi. At least he did over estimate the T3

Anyone happen to notice how restrictive and bobo that squirrel cage is? I wouldn't let that thing near my lawnmower for fear of it ingesting that piece of crap.

"Dont waste money on Greedy, garrett, XS, Drag or other turbo products that cost $1500, $2500, $3500 "

Yeah dont waste your money on something that works and actually makes your car faster. Spend a 10th of the money for something that is liable to do nothing, brake something, and just be dumb. I have figured out that there are just too damn many stupid people in this world for me or anyone with half a brain to count.

It's sad that that jackass is going to get around $200 for that, we all know it won't work. I don't see how it produces boost, I see a "turbine", but no compressor, and even if it could make boost, it'd melt in a heartbeat. Hmm, I wonder if I can buy it and sue him to afford a real turbo...

The electric motor on the back is what makes the "boost". If you put it on the front of your AFM, it won't melt. Maybe we could all chip in and buy one (not from this guy) for whatever the retail value is ($25?) and throw it on someone's N/A.
