a bit strange but I don't see why it wouldn't work, cheaper than refilling NOS, also fuel would need upped whilst its switched on.

technically it might add a few bhp , going by the same principle as having a leaf blower going into your air filter.

Not at all. Wouldn't be able to build any pressure as it would escape back out the filter.

Only way it would work is with a huge tank filled to at least 10bar then a valve to close off the filter.

Got the stuff. Might give it a go

Lol. Parts he's got there are Worth no more than £200. £500 is ridiculous.

Think I'll ask him how the inlet holds the boost.

Just sent them a question

quote:
Hi, I am very interested in your product, as I was looking to do a turbo conversion, but this is much cheaper!!!

Only thing is though, I don't understand how you keep the pressure in the tube between the air filter and the inlet?

Thanks

Even if it did give any gain, the extra weight of it is gonna even that out, add to that the noise of a compressor running somewhere within your vehicle and yeah, obviously worth it

ebay gets better! maybe if there was a way to stop it going straight back out of the filter it could work, but that is a massive waste of money

So I replied with

Hi, have you got a picture of this valve? Because from the pictures on the auction, it looks like just a normal sheilded filter on a 90deg bend.
