i especially love this:


"Do you want to go Turbo but are worried about over boosting?
Dont worry about it any more with this.!!!"


maybe cuz it's just a blowdryer motor in there?
i wonder if anyone's actually bought any of these things?

No one has ever confirmed if these work, and everyone is skeptical.

Buy one and let us know. Dyno before and after.

I actually think that this would restrict the airflow and take HP
I love the dyno tests I wonder if they were done on a moped

I agree, it would restrict airflow.

A real tubro charger has a state-of-the-art compressor wheel which has to spin 80,000 RPMs + to produce enough CFM to provide boost. There's no way you'd get that out of a fan attached to a small electric motor. That's just my humble opion.

I'm not skeptical. It's a definite POS.

Not sure what the flow rate of a VQ is, but remember that carbuerized V8's decades ago were running easily from 650-850 cfm carbs stock...aftemarket much higher. Can't really see where 450cfm is all that impressive. I think my leaf blower moves more air.
