electric Supercharger???

has anyone heard of these, products such as e-ram?? Do they actually work and has anyone installed one> what kind of gains could you get? and what is a good one to get (if there is one) within a reasonable price range? Nothing over a grand

Yes, I have one on my Camaro and its great. I dynoed before and after the e-charger, and with the e-charger I gained about 65 whp and 70 wtq. My car really hauls ass now, after I installed it and went to get it tuned, I was smoking Ferraris left and right. I'm surprised more people don't have this mod, its highly underrated, and I got it off of eBay for only $349.99 plus shipping and it arrived a week later!



















Just in case you didn't know red is for sarcasm. Welcome to AZ.

You get what you pay for. Unfortunately, this is all bullshit.

Turbonator FTW!!!!!!1!!11!!!!!

Unbelievable but true, people do actually fall for this shit, I mean, the Turbonator ad shows a horse and buggy popping a wheelie, that has to mean its good.

Just for reference, an "acquaintance" installed the turbonator on his 06 745i, needless to say, it made the car fuck up and turn off while driving. Please use common sense. TKS

They work great. But not as good as my q-ray bracelet.

I wish we could coordinate the next time a thread like this gets started and everyone tell the person"YES, they work and get one immediately" then tell them to post their results once they get it

Sooo, how do they stay in business and run ads in all the friggin mags, I mean, they must spend like a cool million in advertising per month!!! I don't disagree that the things don't work, but if so, why don't people just return them and make them lose sales??

Just for shits and giggles, when my buddy gets rid of his Civic, we plan on installing one of these just to experience the stupidity first hand

At least the fake sunroof didn't claim to do anything.

Maybe they make all their money on the shipping?

Regular shipping is $7.

The thing is probably made by blind children in Bangladesh for $.02/week. Probably costs about $1 to make.

Step 1: Build Turbonator
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
