Its only so long before these things do the rounds again.

Remember kids, if a stranger offers you this, just say no:

Ecotek Valve
Electric Supercharger
Electric Turbocharger
Flux Capacitor
etc.

PMSL   :grin:

One of these items will reduce the volume of air being drawn into the engine.
It will be impossible it get any pressure build up even on tick over. Have you ever put your hand over a induction pipe on tick over?
 Peak power 5250RPM this would make this item more effiecnt than any turbo or supercharger ever built so why aint all production cars got one?

I would like to get one and put on a car then stick it on our rollling road. has any here got one for me to test?  (truth)

My mums got a 1200w hairdryer, you can bolt that onto the intake if you like, should be more powerful - plus when you put it on the HOT setting, it octruples performance figures do to redirected, heat enegerised oxygen particles.
