I'm not convinced! I think it sounds like a load of crap. It looks like two 'PC' fans, that just spin up and blow air in, it doesn't look to promising? ? unless someone has tried one of these things?!?!?

INTERESTING!>!!?

utter utter bollox.

Garrett have worked on a turbo with an integrated motor / generator.
When the thing's spinning, it generates current (taking load off the alternator). The motor can also be used to spin it up, reducing lag.

The currents involved are fairly high....

"How con Turbo Zet be installed on various engines like Diesel, Petrol (EFI, Carburettor) and LPG?

Turbo Zet has a microprocessor built-in which analyses data from various sensors in the engine and alters it accordingly."

And it does all this from one 12v connection!!

It was me who found this thread off our forum, i agree with everyone else, its a load of crap


leemaster: hello mate

here is something to think about, if the turbo thing only took 2hp from the engine then it would require 125amps from the battery, MELT DOWN!!!
