turbo oil caps??

does anyone know what exactly does this thing do? does it gain hp? or does it need to pair up with real turbos installed in your car?

Dude, do you know what an oil cap is? If you have ever changed the oil, or ever had to add oil to an old beater that burned oil... it's the round thing on top of the engine that you unscrew to pour oil into your engine.

Having said that, do you retract your question?

Um, yeah, an "open gasket" that lets oil out of your engine and sprays it all over your engine bay, just like a "real turbo"!

I'm dying over here. Please don't reply to this, I might fall out of my chair.

Seriously, go ask anyone you know with a turbocharged engine to let you see *their* oil cap. Come back with your findings.

They do say their oil cap adds boost. But, it was obviously A JOKE!

They made a mistake. They assumed you would know that there is no way an oil cap can add power. Unfortunately, you don't know enough about engine tech for their joke to be funny.

Go to www.howstuffworks.com and read EVERYTHING they have about cars.

Seriously...
