Turbo

Post by amsiegel »

Was playing on E-bay and saw this. I am not planning on putting in a turbo or anything just was boared.

I dont know mych about turbos but something does not look right here.

I think that is an A/C fan out of a Toyota

It blows my mind that some people would fall for this.
"Expect 2-3 psi boost" he says. That may be; measured with the MOTOR TURNED OFF! There is NO WAY you're going to get 2-3 lbs in addition to the N/A vacuum created when the motor is running ... out of an electric SQUIRRELL CAGE!

I bet the fan in that unit is restrictive enough to cause a power loss
