What is this s***. How can they let people get away with this. Also there is a guy on ebay that sells goodyear blue hose kits for more than they list on summit. I emailed him and he said something like, some people pay it because they like the convenience. Yeah some dumb people who automatically assume anything on ebay is going to be cheaper.

Oh man I am SO there, I mean why spend the money on a brand name like Toro when you can have this one for half the price!! I wonder if I add this supercharger and 2 turbo fan hair driers I could build up 5000cfm, cause that's what boost is measured in after all. Wonder why he doesn't accept returns?

My 14 year old son suggested I strap on our leaf blower to the car and connect that air up to the cold air intake. We already have a 12v to 110v invertero to run a laptop computer in the car, so I could just plug it right in. Maybe I could market that on ebay

what's the point of blowing more air into your intake when you cant supply the extra fuel it needs not even to say that it would work, you'd need one HELLUVA powerful motor to spin a fan to actually make it work properly... i guess some people are just suckers

I've seen detmar tunnel blowers being advertised as electric superchargers there, also saw a guy selling performance modules, they turned out to be 640OHm resistors to put in the wiring harness where the CTS plugs into, > cold temp > open loop > more fuel, supposedly more performance.

They were selling like hotcakes.
