If it was that easy - all manufacturers would do it!

Rearrange the following words into a well known phrase:

oil + snake

Hmmm I'd steer well clear. Generally speaking if you're going to increase your BHP by 30 you aint going to see improvements of 31% in your MPG! And the fact that it costs under £50 is setting the alarm bells ringing!

The Turbonator sounds like something from Hollywood where a sophiscated time car travels back in time to race all other cars and bump them off the road and into the scrap yard.

Nooooooooooo. Supercharging has been disucussed at great length on the Sport forum. Problem is no insurance company will insure 1, I've tried.

im well chuffed with my turbo charger

Seems similar to those electric superchargers seen on ebay. Basically a PC cooling fan stuffed into the air intake.

Load of old ***** IMHO!

Hoe does a supercharger differ from a Turbocharger?

Graz

Both air pumps. Supercharger is driven by the engine, usually via a belt off the crank. Turbo is driven by the flow of exhaust gases.

SC runs off belt (crank) as said therefore you don't get any lag like TC. However the down side is they add drag (ie need engine power to run) and due to this SC's are not as efficient as TC which run off unused exhaust gases that would otherwise be wasted.

Seems similar to the vortex system, basically its a fan in your intake that makes the air twist, waste of time imo.
