This stuff isn't new, there are already "electric turbos" out there it's just that I wanted to see where it was "dyno proven". Anyways we've already established you're illiterate when it comes to cars so please, stop posting in this forum.

Epic lulz. You're delusional.

I only said technically since it is forced induction, only incredibly half-assed.

As if you have any cred or experience with vehicles, outside your tricycle? Despite the fact your complete lack of knowledge is on display with every post you make, you still come back for more kicks to the head.

Fun being a masochist?

VB has a working ignore feature, maybe if we just all ignore him he will go away?

That can't seriously be doing anything... people need to understand exactly how much vacuum is generated by an engine and that a little electric blower like that can't possibly force feed more air rather than just being a restriction.

Not to mention the heat generated would cancel out the 1 psi/15 HP you MIGHT get.

Last time I looked at somebody trying something like this, the purported dyno proven gains weren't even beyond the margin of repeatability error of the dyno. It's like those magical intakes that give you 5 HP... on a dyno that might show a 10 HP difference on two consecutive runs...

The leaf blower can never lose, especially with nawz.
