i read something about that a few months ago, do a search

i think its soo heavy from the several batteries you would need to make it work its almost pointless and it cost the same as well so i say go with rrm

I actually did a bunch of research on electric turbos. So far I have only found one comapny that makes a decent one. This is because there needs to be enough current going through these to move a considerable amount of air. I cant remember the name of the company but they have put a lot of time and research in to theirs. I know their single turbo give like 30 horses, and their twin turbo gives liek 60 or somthing like that. I wouldnt buy that ebay one though

Ya i wouldnt trust an ebay one too much either, but hey, if you got 200$ to try it, why not?

I personally would risk putting tat on my car and am saving up for RRM kit, good luck though if you decide to buy this

sorry but what ur talking about is completelty different than the Ebay auction.

the ebay auction looks like HALF of a turbocharger.

who knows...maybe the electricity it draws from ur battery charges a magnet which makes it spin (sounds weird but it does work..we did it in autoshop lol) and so it spins pushing air into ur car...but u could just take a 'leaf blower' engine and modify it a little and it would do the same thing....

i wouldn't try it...but if u drive a civic..im sure it would help with the 4 "fan blades" u got in there off ebay to silly honda drivers
