LOL, E-ram 0wnZ j00!

those things are useless. You can find them on E-bay every now and then. They have some vids somewhere on the net of a volkswagon using one and it did minimal gains for the car, VERY MINIMAL. They put one on a porsche and it actually hindered the performance of the car. I highly suggest not wasting your time doing research on one of these. They are as usefull as one of those "Tornado" intake inserts.

haha... the things that people are so are so hilarious...
i'm not a newbie, i had a nicely hooked up 97 civic three years ago(i still have it, but its totaly stock now, cept for the custom grill), and now i have a 2001 prelude in the works of getting turbo...
i've heard the greddy turbo kit works really well with my car... i heard the electronic super/turbo doesn't work, but honda-tech is a pretty large forum, so i was just inquiring if any of you guys had success, IT WAS PUREY FOR INFORMATION, what you guys said wouldn't have made my decision one way or another... i'm going TURBO FO SHO!
