i was on craigslist the other day and came across a car with one of these on it so i looked around and eventually found one on ebay...

ive never even heard of such a thing but im curious if it could actually make a decent difference. has anyone ever had one or can someone intelligent give me some info?

 

negative!!!!

 

Ok so you want intelligent info? Nascar teams use these to direct air to the driver/brakes/electronics. This would more than likely cause a restriction. Search Youtube and you'll find some ****!!

 

yeah i dont really think it could work, that little motor would have to have alot of power...

id really like to hear from someone who's had one though...

but assuming they dont work, its really sad that these people still try to sell them and some poor saps buy them thinknig theyre gettin 10% hp gains...

 

i knew a guy who put something similar to this but way more gehtto. he took an old blower moter and put it in the intake to his car bogged and didn't run very well.

 

Them things are ****ing junk, waste of money.

You can make a home made turbo for that amount of cash

 

yeah ive done a little more research and apparently there are such ones that work well, but most are just scams, some actually using old boat blower motors.

the idea seems good and i think with the right engineering it could be done very well...

still, ive never been so tempted to spend $200 on something thats almost guaranteed not to work lol. which i why i wish i had an actual testimony on one of these kits.

i mean, it says 5psi, heck, for $200 id be happy with 1.5-2psi...

 

itd be a stretch to build a 5psi turbo setup for $500 let alone $200,which is why i thought this was definitely worth exploring.

i think just about everyone would have one if it did what it said lol.

 

I dunno bout where your located but you could get a saab 93 turbo with intercooler and piping for a 100$ from a scrap yard.
-egay turbo manifold 80$. (120 for a "ramhorn" style)
-brake line and fittings-30$
(This will be for the oil feed, yes it works)

only thing im not sure of the price is a fmu, but yea turbo can be done cheap for low boost.
