It seems like a valid idea and a possiblity for someone like me who
wants a little bit more power. I have an NA FWD Legacy with 183K
miles on it and I don't think it would last too much longer with a
turbo. This only puts out 2 psi which won't give a whole lot but for
the cost it's not much. I'm gonna keep my eye on it and ask the
winner of the auction how it is.

Don't waste your money!

Those things don't work. They don't mention how many amps it draws, I'm
sure it's quite a hefty amount which puts more load on everything else,
which negates any effects from this thing.

Can't get through to Ebay but Things like this have been around for a
long time. The only one that ever showed any promise was called the
Turo pac. Turbodyne had something at one time that supposedly
bankrupted them. We estimated the weight of the batteries needed to
do the job at 7 tons. Some were used and possibly still arein deisel
rigs where weight is not such a problem.

One thing I was thinking of was that the fan would
probably decrease performance because chances are it
can't push through enough air for the engine and you'd
actually start getting less air therefore hindering
operation.
