What is this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=2435172048 I have seen similar things like the tornado on www.turbonator.com. Those look too good to be true. The ebay one looks different too. Can somebody fill me in? Thanks |

It is too good to be true. There's a previous post about this. I think it was decided that this is bad for your motor...

It sounds really good.... Creapy.... I wonder if it would really hurt the engine to just use it every now and then for race applications.... I read the webpage turbotine or whatever and it sounds awsome... and fake...

Lemme explain...
Electric turbos area waste of time... It takes up power, and at higher rpms...say 3K+ it creats heavy restriction. For one, a typical Intake on a typical car can suck up as much as 300+cfm at medium throttle. It's nothing but a gimmick. Ask look up old posts in the "Aftermarket Modification" forums on celica.net. Conrad_Turbo has posted a lot about these products. |

Agreed=useless The best alternative turbo I've seen is the "hydralic turbo." It runs on a closed circuit hydro tube propelled by the engine=major possibilities.

You got a link for this? I can not imagine it being any good! The only one I have seen that holds ANY promise is the ERAM: http://www.electricsupercharger.com/ but for that price, just save up for a light pressure turbo system. |

This is not a turbo and 8,000 is a lot for an electric DC motor with such a rapid centripetal acceleration.
I think it is a waste of money, as an exhaust provides better gains, and a turbo is way, way better bang for the buck. |
