Just browsing on the Electronic bay and came across this....
They claim it to be an electric turbo? Looks like a fancy induction kit to me??
Has anybody experienced this modern day technology before!!!

the leaf blower was very impressive, but think of the power of a leaf blower, and compare that to a little gay fan.....

theres a video of the leafblower somewhere, basically, some lads got a car, strapped it to a rolling road, then did a power run, then did a power run with a leaf blower attatched to the inlet hose, and it made substantially more power

this is the funniest
"Can the Generation 2 be used with a mechanical turbo?
Yes, The Generation 2 can be placed between the intercooler and the inlet manifold, this will generate boost in the lower rev range and eleviate mechanical turbo lag."

asked this question
"Fair play for being able to rip people off like this haha, quality!! Just had to ask though, you dont seriously believe yourselves that this works do you..??...surely...!
Should i go and get a refund on my Remap which consisted of a four hour rr session, which actually gave me about a 30bhp increase on a VAG 1.8T engine? i mean that cost me £500 yours is almost a 5th of that price !!!!!!!"

Yes, infact, the heat created by forced induction will actually MELT very fast, sending a huge molten lump of plastic heading straight for you inle  All of this can be yours for £250  ."
