Or the 234123 other forum threads that have a write up about how crappy they are. LOL specially on a 4.0L motor. Maybe a 1.6L or something you would see a slight and I stress SLIGHT gain.

I had a guy in a civic bring one into my shop for me to install a "turbo." After trying to talk him out of it, I charged him $80 for the 30 min it took and later in the week he tried to bring it back to me because the company wouldnt refund because it was damaged beyond normal use, what had happened is it blew up into intake and both metal and plastic went into his engine causing his valves in cyl 1 and 3 to get bent on intake stroke, but at least i got the repeat business of a cyl head job!! Tried to tell them about the crap ebay sells like the resistor that goe sinto IAT sensor and some of the ebayers list 50+ horsepower, al they do is trick computer to think car is running cooler and richen the fuel..........CRAP.

There is no way that little "turbo" can push the PSI neccesary to get the job done. CFM's don't matter as much as PSI; If I had to choose between a low CFM high PSI turbo or a High CFM low PSI one like this, I'd buy the first simply because a turbo must overcome the immense amount of intake pressure created by the pistons.

Hmmm up to 25% more h.p. That's 47 more horses, all from an electric fan pushing 6 amps for only $50 bucks
Why didn't the engineers think of this
Give me a break
