electric turbo?

[kickere696]

anyone ever hear of anything like this, i got one from a guy at work today for free and was wondering if they actually work, it looks like it would but i dunno

haha, they don't do much, you could run it though.

electric Turbo??? show pix...where does it go?

 

[Spencey]

they're just an electric fan that fits in your intake tube. Some of them are pretty powerful but the powerful ones still only run a pound or two of boost.

fan != turbocharger

 

[Spencey]

yes, yes its a fan, I'll find you a pic

 

[kickere696]

this isn't just a fan though, it looks exactly like a turbo, just with an electric motor spinning the turbine

 

[Spencey]

fits in the airbox, adds 10 horsepower... lol

yes, but its a small one, the blades inside resemble a turbo, I know the one you're talking about, but its still just a more complicated fan. Can you post pics?

 

[kickere696]

thats def. not it!

 

[Spencey]

does it say TorqueWind on it?

 

[kickere696]

no, it says swirlwind in big letters, then high performance turbo under it

 

[Spencey]

haha, another Wind brand lol, I wouldn't run it, but at least give it a try and see if you like what it does.
