I want to say you get what you pay for. It looks plastic.

I did see a guy on Streetfire that hooked a leaf blower to his car on a dyno and got added HP gains.. lol

Congrats, you just made a zombie out of this thread. Typically people let threads die in piece rather than revive them over 2 years later.

well maybe your right about the thread date but I wasn't going to start a NEW one about useless product, I saw that banner ad for electric turbos the day I made my post which I thought really belongs on a R I C E R site

post stuff like that in the gen discussion forum not in a tech thread that is 2 years old. Or if you don't really see a need to post a new thread then don't. Sweet car though, hope it doesn't leak like mine does

BTW if anyone cares, the powerdyne kit is no longer made for the V6 cars... but that's fine since it was a piece of garbage that ran on the backside of the belt anyway. There is still a procharger kit available from machperformace though, which is a better kit but needs to have an extra bracket fabbed up to keep it stable.

/thread.

Tpunk, I don't have a leak yet, but I keep the car in a garage, Like I said I wasn't going create a NEW thread any where's I just added to an existing post.
Which I did a search for first. I was just pointing out the Banner ad I saw that day on Ls1tech. The second post I placed really shows that it can be done but at $$ like anything on these cars it cost money to go fast. BTW I'm 46 years old an been on boards since the early 90's Sucks to get old
