This is too funny...u will laugh!

stumbled upon this page....

http://www.turbonator.com/index.html

now these fake azz superchargers are not even electric like the ebay ones. and install in just five minutes! and actually gain 35%hp (lose 10%)...and you know the best news of all??? you can actually use upto 3 of them on a single application...thats right bolt on 3 of these and watch out!

i could beleive that people would actually buy these, just cause they dont know better, but i cant believe some jack-off actually sell them and make claims like that. read the testemonials its insane! some azz with a neon said he ran 15.8 and has 47whp?!?!?! another one noticed 20hp, ye exactly 20, not 19 not 21, but 20 ponies on the butt dyno!

WE GOTTA GET A GROUP DEAL ON THESE! hahaha

from what i've heard, the Thomas Knight electric superchargers are like an unlimited supply of nitrous...given that after a short boost it has to recharge off of the cars electrical system.

The Price Performance Ratio
35 HP boosts are not typical. Your results with the Turbonator will probably, but not necessarily, be less. Just keep this in mind. A Vortech Supercharger kit for a 2004 Mustang that produces 155 HP boost costs $5,139.95 (plus installation costs). The Price/Performance ratio is $5,139.95/155HP = $33.16/HP. It costs $33.16 for every one horsepower it produces. Some of the people in above tests have attained as many as 35, ten times more horsepower per dollar than any turbocharger or supercharger.

I prefer to spend almost 6g's to get 155 proven hp than to just get an unproven 35hp. Which would you choose. Moe power or save money.

I think you need a new hobby, cuz finding that product on the net is a load of crap. I get my Road and Track mag and I never once seen it in the mag.

yes, this is just like those stupid tornado things. when i had a honduh, i wouldnt put it on my car, and now that ive "grown up" and have a maxima, i wouldnt put it on THIS car. at least the tornado advertises on TV tho, this site looks like something made in MS Frontpage in high school.

the thomas knight unit seems pretty legitimate with what it does and how it works and all.

"The Turbonator is much less expensive and more efficient than any turbocharger,"

how could putting something in the way of the intake be even remotely efficient?

HAHAHA!
