Default Anyone fitted one of these?

I just saw this advert at the bottom of one of the forum's pages

http://www.turbonator.com/index.html

Anyone fitted one of these? I'm not considering it, just curious to hear peoples thoughts.

I have thoughts. Soggy toilet rolls and a hamster's guff would be a much better edition to an engine

Aready done the (very rough and crude) science. They can't work.

But a 2stroke garden leaf blower however, does work very well

I thought it sounded as good as some of the junk on ebay that boosts performance by 40bhp and costs a fiver. I have 2 questions:

1. Who buys this ****?
2. Who lets them advertise on this forum?

Total guff ! But I have read recently that several car manufacturers are looking into electric turbo/supercharging. Probably have electric powered cars before the technology is good enough
