It is too good to be true. There's a previous post about this. I think it was decided that this is bad for your motor...

i am awesome
It sounds really good.... Creapy.... I wonder if it would really hurt the engine to just use it every now and then for race applications.... I read the webpage turbotine or whatever and it sounds awsome... and fake...
ghey
Lemme explain...

Electric turbos area waste of time... It takes up power, and at higher rpms...say 3K+ it creats heavy restriction. For one, a typical Intake on a typical car can suck up as much as 300+cfm at medium throttle. It's nothing but a gimmick. Ask look up old posts in the "Aftermarket Modification" forums on celica.net. Conrad_Turbo has posted a lot about these products.
Agreed=useless The best alternative turbo I've seen is the "hydralic turbo." It runs on a closed circuit hydro tube propelled by the engine=major possibilities.

Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
This is not a turbo and 8,000 is a lot for an electric DC motor with such a rapid centripetal acceleration.

I think it is a waste of money, as an exhaust provides better gains, and a turbo is way, way better bang for the buck.
