electronic turbo???

i saw on ebay somebody is selling an electric turbo/blower that gives you a fraction of the turbos power and hooks to your battery and it goes between your air filter and the intake.
he claims that you can set it up with a switch to cut it on and off

does anybody know what this guy is talking about
if it does work wouldnt you still have to upgrade your fuel components

here is the place on ebay it is for sale:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...me=rvi%3A1%3A3

it sounds like it could work so give me some info

Right to the newbie forum with the other dozens of threads on marine blowers. Try running a search. If you want power, do it right. You might as well put a hat with a fan on it on your hood as a scoop.

There is a company that makes a legit roots style blower with 3 electric motors drawing 15,000 watts of power to make 60 seconds at 7 psi. This rinky dink POS probably would make 1/2 of a psi and not accomplish anything except empyting your wallet by 170 bucks.
