well if you figure out how many CFM an engine take in at max RPMs then it far exceeds the CFM that thing can push. It would most likely cause a drag if anything. Last time i fugures this up for proof i dont thing one would even provide enough CFM for a 1.4L at 5000RPM. Save your money and use it on something thats worth it. It sad, but stuff like this is just to make easy money off of people that are not so informed. (no offense...not saying your dumb or anything)

Nah they advertised the PSI much higher than it produced and was still new to engines, oh well $50 lesson no biggie.

not woth the box it'll be shipped in. buddy of mine's brother bought one and ended up wiring it wrong... took me several days chasing down all the gremlins just from that. not like it would have worked even if he did wire it up right.

That's the first turbo that I've ever seen being housed in plastic. Those crazy engineers these days have certainly been putting in their overtime coming up with plastics that can handle the stresses of a turbo...

By the way, did you know that Ma Mopar makes a throttle body for these trucks that sucks in 1000 CFM? it's only about a hundred bucks more then that cheapo turbo and it will actually be able to produce extra power unlike that P.O.S.

Take this into consideration, if a 4 barrel throttle body with 50 MM bores pulls 1000CFM



, and the 50MM fastman throttle body

pulls roughly half that since it's got half the bores, and our stock throttle bodies have 47MM bores, don't you think that your engine will require quite a bit more then 250CFM to get any boost at all? Any turbo or supercharger would have to put out around 33 CFM more then your throttle body's current CFM rating in order to give any boost at all plus you would need to upgrade your injectors in order to keep up with the added fuel, don'tcha know!
