Default LOL! I still can't believe that people actually buy these.

I especially like the section on how it "works," where they claim that car manufacturers purposely increase the temp of intake air to reduce performance .

I had a friend fall for this crap before. He bought it expecting some kind of fancy chip, turned out they sent him an electrical resistor from Radio Shack. $14.99+ shipping for a resistor worth a couple of cents.

I laughed at him when he got it, and he still wanted to install the stupid thing! So we followed the instructions and jammed it into his MAF sensor.

Results? a MAF sensor wrapped in electrical tape and a check engine light.
worth every cent.

Couple this with an electric supercharger, a few dozen fuel magnets, and triple in-line turbonators and you'll easily break the 500HP mark and get 75mpg to boot! How can you go wrong?

That will get you a reliable 10-11 lbs of boost and if you do what nick said with the 3 inline turbonators you can get yourself up to about 35 lbs and run just fine on stock internals as long as you have the chip

you'll run low 9s all day

Lol.....

and all this time us stupid mustang owners have been buying $5000 superchargers to SHOVE the air in, when we can actually put one of these in and let it breath NATURALLY?

hahahahaha

We will program your performance module to adjust your intake sensor to allow for unlimited airflow.
Why have boost when you have UNLIMITED airflow?

okay so one of my friends totally fell for the electric supercharger bit, he didn't know much about cars then, and had a guy sell him one and install it for like 300 dollars in his neon...

well basicly you got a mini leaf blower, that you have a switch that turns it on or off... and they sound funnier then ****... inside it really sounds like a leaf blower, the faster you go, the louder it got... and you could just turn it off if you wanted to... i mean that is ******* sweet... i can have the emince power of a supercharger, that i can turn off anytime that some one else drives the car, or i don't need the power to race a civic down the street....

naw all joking a side, i felt sorry for my friend, he got ripped off the 300 to start with, then it broke like five times, and had to pay several more hundred dollars to fix it, i mean he was out a **** ton of money, or that is for a 16 year old,
