Default Warning....electric turbo's

I just talked to a friend of mine he has a 93 accord. He Bought one of those electric Turbo's that are suppose to give you like 2 psi of boost.. which by the way is bull ****. He ran if for a couple of days. well today he raced a mustang and the results were not good. the fan broke into 3 peices and now are in his engine. Just a warning to you guys i do not reccomend this product

This ia one of those situations you hear about but never believe is true. Don't people stop to think that if throwing a blower motor into your airbox actually produced boost, one of the namebrand aftermarket manufacturers would bo selling them. The first time I saw one of those on ebay I pictured some kid who didn't have a credit card putting a hairdryer with a power inverter into his mom's accord.

Maybe your friend should sue the guy who sold it to him. (sarcasm)

**** that sux.

My hommie (I'll keep his name a secret) was actually considering the twin electric turbo set up for 03 SI, but then again he's the same guy that wanted to buy coilovers at pepboys, because they were an open box mark down.

For the most part the old saying is true, You get what you pay for .

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic, but if you could make it work worth a ****, it would actually be pretty cool...an air conditioned cold air intake. I bet the drag off of the AC compressor would kill all the gains you would get though.

GAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

maybe that's because those stupid *** e-turbo's are mainly one of TWO ******* things:

1. marine bilge pump blowers
2. port-a-pottie electric fan motors

hahahahaha...

I wonder what makes people think stuff like that. Why in God's name would'nt everybody have one if for 50 bucks you could make 40hp. I know about the retartd in the group though, everybody has one and the one in my group is a MORON.
