I wonder if you need forged internals for all that boost.

I can see the next Feedback post now "I put 16 of them on my Civic along with a 6 foot wing and now I have the first flying car"

It is obviously total BS... I should buy one just to prove it doesn't work, then sue them for false advertising and go buy a ZL1... if Burger King can get sued for having hot cofee I should be able to sue them for this lol.

"I purchased two Turbonators for my Chrysler Sebring and immediately noticed the increase in power. It was more than I expected. I am already noticing the improved gas mileage. I like them so much, I am ordering two more for my brothers. Now, it feels like my car has a turbo charger."
that's funny stuff...if i were you i would go and sue them for false advertising and get your money...

I just used a hair dryer on the cold setting and gained 13 rwhp on the dyno. Now I just have to find an extension cord 1/4 mile long and I'm golden!

I'll be selling my set up for 29.95 plus shipping. Get your orders in while supplies last!

Your so retarded....I have already come out with this, I have modified my hair dryer to work on a 12V battery, so I either use my battery from the car or a 12v rechargable battery from Dewalt. Its added about a 72HP and when I painted the hair dryer yellow with highlight green stripes it added another 27HP

or the exhaust.
is it just me...or is this person serious?
