Check out this eBay auction, and just think someone actually placed a bid on it.

That sure seems to look a lot like the "Tornado".  I think it's funny (and suspicious) that he will only accept money orders.  Makes it a bit harder to track than check or paypal.

sometimes i wish ebay would ban shit like this. but hey, it gives me a good laugh.

"Q8: Why is the This Supercharger a smart turbo and a good buy?"

"Q15: How many units can I put in my car?
A: If you have an EFI type car, you may install two (2) units for a near double boost."

wow what a sales technique

"The feeling is dramatic and instant, most drivers experience it on the first drive around the block."

for a 50 hp upgrade, you better feel it before the gas pedal even hits the floor.

so while you guys are piddling around with your turbo Ka motors and imported SR's, i'll be rolling with two "This Superchargers"

Hehe, i like this one even more:

Q16: My car has (2) two air intake hoses. How many do I need?
A: One (1) unit per hose is basic. If you have two (2) hoses you will need two (2) units. If you want to get more boost then two (2) units per hose for a total of four (4) units.

lol, a 200hp upgarde with only an air intake!!!

Hehe, notice the "If you want to get more boost then two (2) units per hose"... makes me wonna ask Q17:
Can i stick 5 in each? will i get 250hp at each intake?"

Oh, and btw, notice how most of the car pics on the site are acuras/hondas.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Kre

P.S. Go here:

Read the complaints. God, how dumb can be people if they are bidding on an item from the seller with this feedback...

Notice the high bidder had NO rating...which means this moron probably creates a dummy account to bid his crap up.

Well, ebay has all of his information, they run some decent checks on every seller. They should really put a feature on ebay to report shit like this...

Just went to check for it. Sold for $186. But i'm posting this cuz i found another interresting thing on there:

"Typical range of improvement over baseline is:
up to 50 increase in horsepower.
up to 31.85% increase in fuel economy."

Now the fuel economy is rather interresting... if i'm running 25mpg now, does that mean i'm gonna have like 35mpg now? With 200hp? LOL. Id love to own a fuel economy car like that <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

edit: i hate macintosh keyboards. Yeah, they still have macintosh on campus in UMD <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
