ok now, please dont flame me for talking about this cuz im not supporting it, i just wanted to see if anyone has heard of this b/f. its an electric turbo. at first i just figured it was an ecu add-on that tells the ecu to take in more air(and those are a dime a dozen). but i emailed the seller & he said that it is an electric motor that spins the turbo, forcing air into the car. anyone heard of this before? im assuming its a tornado-type gimmick, but if anyone has heard of this in a real car mag or something then post. the link is:

There was already a thread about this last week or so. It doesnt work, its just another lame gimmick just like the tornado supercharger or whatever its called. Waste of money and time.

Well someone from 3Si won a bid on one of those electric turbos and he's going to try it out and let us know what he thinks. Although it is a different car, I can still post his revue if any of you are interested.

Tell the idiot that bought it he is a flaming moron and I hope he had to pay a lot for it! For all you mental giants that just have to see for yourself that you are an idiot... Let me make it easier on you to get your hands on them for cheaper so you can see what a dumbass you are. http://www.theshadconnection.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?page=177
