Default Another ebay item...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/35-bhp-Turbo-3...item2c5999f3cf

Tip: Install 2 for double turbo power!


Ok, so what would it really do instead of the stated +35 bhp, +31% Fuel economy, +65% reduced emissions?

99p bargain just £19.99 delivery, pays for itself in 2 days.

apparantly the induction of air through the fan somehow compresses the air behind it, kind of a perpetual motion machine, who'd have thought the worlds energy problems could be solved for 99p (plus £19.99p&p).

Come on this is same like PC fan fitting on any induction kit,which will make on RR 0 BHP.
+35BHP really,maybe in dreams(or in someone wet dreams) and other nonsense is just perfectly misleading...

I am amazed that crap is still on ebay. The claims just keep getting bigger and better to outdo the other crap the someone else is setting. Sooner or later they are going to tell you that you do not even need an engine!

gimmicks have been around for hundreds of years and will only fade out when there is no more naive people to buy them, so they will be around for a long time yet !
