Save your money and wait to get something that actually works. Those E-Ghey mods are crap I would steer clear of most of the Ebay Mods.

You'd get more Horsepower by buying an actual horse.

Those things dont work. Back on the celica forums these things were discussed alot and these things will never work unless you have like a 5HP motor pushing air into the intake.

Those small *** fans in there do nothing.

What is cool though is there use to be a video floating around of a car on a dyno with a before run and on the after run, he shoved a leaf blower into the intake and turned it full blast and actually got huge results HP wise.

Or just get an rsx... Better yet, put the interfooler and electric turbo *on* an rsx... Good for 1327whp easy.

You won't gain anything with this unless you use the interfooler.

i looked into thast eram thing my self a while back. It does sound like it could work from how they explain it they even have tons of good reviews from there pervious customer. They even have liek 200 dyno slips on there site showing before and after. This was around 7 months ago i remembver seeing it tehy show a video of it blowing a firelog it looks prettyt powerfull. But i was scared it was bull**** cause i know eletric super chargers are bull but they claim theres is different and really works. I couldnt bring my self to acutally buy it cause its liek 350 dollars i think. You be the tester and get a dyno and let us know lol.

I played tester for this product when it first came out. We had the test at a car meet. The car I had was very very consistent between back-to-back dyno runs, ie it put down 139.0 and 139.3 whp on the first two runs with the device installed but turned off. When turned on it gained exactly 1 horsepower and put down 140.X whp. There actually was a difference in readings between having it installed (not necessarily on, just in the intake tube) and not having it installed. I could elaborate but I'm lazy and really don't believe that was from the product so I wont unless requested
