Ahh yes....the so-called "E-turbo" (electronic turbo). They're selling them on Ebay quite often. I think they are basically crap. You might get a little extra airflow at lower rpms, but when you bring the revs up the engine is going to suck in more than that thing can blow...so it will be a restriction once you get going any and it will suck away horsepower by blocking the airflow and not flowing enough cfm to keep up. A decently set up ram air will out flow and outperform the stupid E-turbo. All you need for that is some flexible dryer tubing and a big funnel...mount it where it can get cold air and you'll push enough cool air in to make a nice difference...and the faster you go, the better it works....not like the E-turbo...the faster you go with that, the less horsepower you get! I've read discussions about these E-turbos on other car forums, and they all thought the same thing....they're crap. Leave them for the 'Ricers!
