Found this link that is selling an electrically driven turbo. Hmmm... thought you guys might like to see it.

I hope you're not serious. Just add a couple stickers, they're good for 5hp each!

OMG it's 2005 again!

In all seriousness do a quick internet search and you'll see those are all crap. While the theory is sound these little heaps don't have nearly the power required to generate enough airflow to realize a benefit. You'd need a much more powerful compressor and the required size and electrical load would not be feasible in a car.

Wow... thats one expensive "turbo".... A TD04 goes for like $150 and its real lol... but then 3k+ to make it work

Thanks. That was worth a chuckle.

I think its based upon a 12 volt hair dryer.

I figure with 2 stickers and stick on hood scoop and a K&N air filter I could make a 10 second qtr mile. I guess I should cancel my order I hope this clears things up.
