Ebay is scary.

OMG LOR + 900 HORSEPOWER

[HaLo]

oh lord!

worst part is: IT SOLD FOR 330$!!!!

[nismo270r]

Anyone else notice that it was listed as a private auction, so you can't find out who the bidders are?  I'm thinking they put it up and had some people they know bid it up to that much so it looks as if it's a badass product...anytime the words "electric" and "turbo charger" or "super charger" are put together, beware...haha!

[misnomer]

Is it just me, or was that compressor housing made of plastic?

[Yoshi]

I swear, unless you're getting parts from a parted out 240, people should just stay FAR away from ebay for car stuff...

answers to some constant ebay induced questions:

- no an electric turbo doesn't do crap
- those little impeller thingies that go in your i/e/h.. total BS and WILL make you slower (restricted airflow)
- hyper blinkers/LED washer lights/Neon/ground effects... don't make me slap you
- universal exhasts? ARGH! Craptastic! no I don't car if it says "N1"
- silvia AC control units - no they won't work! (short of putting a grand into it to have someone custom wire it for you)
- GTR emblems - let the SRO ricers have these
- GT wings - look ma! I can fly!
- OBX/APC/toucan "coilovers", seriously, do you WANT to crash?
- giant ass stickers - that's 10whp right?
- various generic intakes - um, no. K&N please
- indiglo pedals/shift knob/interior glow - woo hoo! Uncle Ben's!
- Skyline tail lights? don't go there.

Hahaha, I was gonna say the same thing!

God there are some stupid people on ebay!

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">more for a product that is hard to controll, does damage to your engine, and costs a ton to maintain, this is a one time cost that will never need more than a new air filter</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>

Now that was funny! &nbsp;I dont thing XS racing or Nsports or anyone else would build a kit to fuck up your engine. &nbsp;More user error than anything.

Also whats the deal? &nbsp;He cant give a reusable K&N filter with his powerhouse?

[MasterOFDrift]

That "electronic Turbo" looks like a chopped up oldschool blow dryer......... WHo ever bought that is a *ucken dumbass "$300!!!."

[gfisch]

Holy shit, $330 for that piece of crap???
damn, if I didnt feel bad about ripping people off, thats a damn great way to make money. I was just looking today for a new blower for a machine I was working on, and saw one like that for under $30 in a catalog. Thats a nice 1000% profit.

[SprungScorp]

"ToddytheHotty" needs to have his ass handed to him.

[kumanchu]

check out how much those things really cost and what they are for (http://www.theshadconnection.com/cgi-bin/page.cgi?page=177)

[Starlin]

Wow, I think I'll go tear apart my swimming pool's filter pump and just make my KA a KA-T!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

So umm...has anyone reported him to Ebay yet? &nbsp;If not I will. &nbsp;Why is this in tech talk?

[hopeful]

I don't think anybody would be worried about over boosting with that baby.

[KoukiS14]

Funny thing is. . . I know a guy that would try and sell something like this. . lol

Some people will screw anyone for a buck

[SR240DET]

Success!!!! My shit kit sold for $300 &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':sly:'>

[transient]

honestly, I think anyone that would pay the money for that deserves to lose it. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'>
