"Super charge any car: $69.95"

"Up to +35 HP +31% MPG"
http://www.turbonator.com/

I know this is kinda dumb, but just read how it works. They compare it to "mixing a drink."

What do you guys think, another scam?

some people dont realize the importance of living up to your/their expectations even if that undermines the rationale behind the principle at hand, thus i will continue to be portrayed as this that these and those. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES!

ONLY TWICE AS MUCH AS YOU COULD IMAGINE!

i drew out the schematics for some things you could do to your car if you wanted the fan. i'm sorry i'm not a good artist, because it would be twice as good as you see even if you only had 1 eye.

I don't think mixing a drink describes how an internal combustion engine works. That thing is rediculous.

now i do not thnk that is realistic at all. but what if you were using some sorta of nitro or something and then used the fan to mix the air and nitrous.... i know it wouldnt make a big difference if any, but would it make a difference. i dont run that stuff, i was just curious.
