Don't listen to these clowns. Buy it. These are well engineered electric turbos that have been thoroughly designed to vent your inboard boat's engine compartment, errr oops I meant to boost your engine. However, be careful as you need to connect it in conjunction with the +10HP "chip" that connects in parallel with your water temp sensor. Don't forget to hook the other wire to any wire from your MAF and series connect that to your headlights. Then run the other wire to your #4 ign coil, tee that into your AC clutch and parrallel that into your sunroof relay. Don't forget the drop resistor on the turbo, it generates so much force at idle it could blow your rings right out of cylinders 2, 4 and 5. This has been the usual way the VQ fails under such high loadings.

Yes, they work well just like the stickers/vinyl graphics you have on your Max.

If your stickers give you 5 hp, you can bet the electric turbo will surely give you 10-25 hp.

Go for it.

If Judas Priest uses them on their motorcycles, and cared enough to make a song about them, they gotta be good.

just ordered two after reading the legit description and testimony. first one will compress to 2psi and the second one will be 4psi which means 50whp. i have not yet dare to dream about three. it might blow my engine.

At first I thought you were kidding, then I saw the stickers on your car.
