my guess .. it looks kinda like a turbo but made out of plastic. im guessing it works the same way as a turbo, if it does work.

Buy a used leaf blower for 10 bucks, it'll do the same thing

Never trust a vendor that thinks a turbo and a SC are the same thing...

Basic concept (like an actual turbo) is to add more air flow into the motor for increased power. Don't waste your $$$ bro...

stay away from ebay turbos and...well whatever sad attempt at a super charger that is. there used to be a turbo kit on ebay that was just a mix and matched honda kit. claimed to bolt right up...it really needed some fabrications...so yeah no ebay.

Jeez, people will buy anything on Ebay. All I have to say is if you think that you will gain more power from someone off of your battery that should have pulleys, don't buy it. They rook plenty of people into these, and honestly, a leaf blower will work better because it's cheaper!

Yeah, I have it on my car and as soon as Vtec hits at 4500 rpms it pulls really hard all the way up to my 14,000 rpm redline.
