Default electric turbo

I've heard goods and bads about this product, does it really works? it's just a fan that you add on to your air filter, does it really gives some extra horsepowers?

It's b.s. If it worked, people would stop using those expensive exhaust-powered ones.

yeah !!.. cause the prob with the electric "turbo" is is lag of RPM !!.. a turbo runs about 80,000-120,000... electric engines as a hard time doin that !! so maybe it runs about 10,000 if they are lucky !!.. gonna give you like 2-5 HP if lucky

WHOA! Electric turbo! They cost what about $50-$80? Think about it and do the math. A real turbo kit cost's in the ball park of $2000.-$3000 that would be a savings of $2950. You could use that extra money to buy a metal spoiler a body kit some altezzas, New vinyl graphics. I say go for it!

I doubt your theory about getting more boost pressure.
But if you mentioned about helping combustion process because of the methane content,...... then maybe
