just curious as to what people have to say about this

is it a gimmick or is it worth using a little bit of extra battery power to get more air into the engine for slight gains (probably no where near 3mpg or 25% horsepower like it says, but maybe 5hp or something little)

dont waste your money bro. the physics arent there. Thank about it. How much air is your exhaust flowing? in a traditional turbo system, the exhaust gas is turning the turbine. They claim that little 12v plastic fan can compare? I think not. Also explain something to me, how does a fake turbo increase handling and engine life? doesnt that just mean you'll drive it harder?

Looks like something Bernie Madoff would sell. Don't waste your money.
