hmm.. this isnt a boosting chip.. it's a eletric turbine that attaches at the end of your intake.. I wonder if this actually works..

-if a part seems too good to be true, it probably is... actually it really is.

-if the part looks like it comes from a leaf blower, it probably does and wont work...

If this part is the part to end all performance parts, then everyone will have one. There would be no need for turbo's, nitrous, etc. Think about it...

just a few fyi's!

another one of these posts on these stupid hair dryers.you know those little plastic fans you used to get as a kid at like chucky cheese or somethin with tickets the little plastice fans where the blades fold in on the side and when you turn it on the momentum made them come out and it was a fan yea its that in a little plastic housing that looks like a turbo...its a waste and a restriction and deserves to just be thrown actually you throw it while its on and it might do some good......actually i lied its just crap exhaust doesnt run through one side and or theres no pulley its not boost sorry....

hook it up to your air vents and you can have turbo A/C lol sorry i can go all day on these stupid things...waste of money man..save up and get a supercharger or turbo


electric supercharger $75
pasing a flat bed truck and a cop while your runnin insane boost on a $75 hair drier $275
flate bed pickin you up cuz it granaded and got lodged in your head causing the cam to snap a valve priceless cuz we told you so

how does making it electric help? Doesnt work, no way around it. If it did, it would be the VERY first mod on every vehicle here. And hell it would be a cheap factory mod, better than a turbo if its as true as it seems. Have you heard of any company (BMW, Porsche, Honda, any company that has turbo's from factory)... Why are they still using mechanical turbos if this works?!?! Think beyond the advertisement to real world applications. Works best as a leaf blow, hair dryer, or just a fan to coo you off in the hot summer sun, but it will not go beyond this.

i was being mean and didnt help any huh lol sorry bottom line is to make any power a turbo or supercharger beyond how it work or what it does it moves some serious air at a fast rate of speed.. that thing is only going to be a restriction. it wont do a single thing for the plus side of power..this just quick cut and dry with out getting into how each works...cfm this that and la da da. your better off getting an injen or trd CAI then that.. your car will suck in more air then that thing can move on steroids

My brother has a 350z so he is constantly on my350.com I happen to catch a full right up on the "turbos" "chips" "horsepower and fuel economy" pieces, when I find it again Ill post it for everyone. Basically they actually test them on trucks, the end result.....Anything that has to do with your intake is BS. Everyone wheather electronic or not restricts airflow actually causing the engine to work harder and lose hp and gas mileage. The "chips" in some cases had some hp gains, but a total loss in torque. Anything electronic they tested majorly decreased hp and torque and in one case caused a fire. So for anyone who doesnt get that DO NOT BUY!
