Most small to medium size turbos are capable of flowing 325-650 cfm. at around 14-15psi. I have no doubt that this piece of **** on Ebay can flow 250cfm (hooked up to nothing). It might(and that's a BIG might) help with an N/A engines volumetric efficiency but IMO would never, ever make any positive pressure in the manifold, ie. boost. It looks like a damn good worthless piece of junk to sell to riceboys for their Honda's!

Buyer Beware doesn't even work with this product, I think it falls under Buyer BeStupid!

Now is someone would only front me the $49.95 and then I was thinking of maybe a cool Honda generator mounted behind the seat powering a couple of Conair hair driers run in parallel. Since we have 110vlt maybe install a refrigerator too. Then we could claim both turbocharged and intercooled power. Good spot to keep your beer cold too. Pretty cool huh?

oh i read somehwere the best HP increase was just to strap jet engines on top your car, i hear they are running real cheap nowadays. kinda hard when your holding that drink in your lap since you dont have cup holders. but just think 1000hp jet engine on your roof moving you at speeds in excess of 210 miles an hour. i mean who could keep up with you then? ya didnt think so....
(how far can our sarcasm can go?) peace guys
