Do electronic turbos really work?
Recently I have been seeing these electronic turbos on eBay claiming to give you 10-30 extra horse at the flip of a switch. Is this true or just a very fancy Tornado?

Oh they are real alright. Don't mind the people saying they are just boat bilge pieces!
I installed one on my Type-R and am now making 498whp and 321ft/lbs of torque at .00005 bar.

If they worked you'd see a group buy on them stickied at the top.... do you really think a plastic "turbo" can compete with a 4000 dollar turbo setup??

Does anyone think I could compare one of those to a t-66 turbo? Just curious because Id like to switch for weight reasons.

1,000,001 now... and I guarantee there will be another one by next week...
They DON'T work, and will HURT performance in the top end (The fan can't keep up w/ the air flow requirement).
