I don't know about this one! It looks like the same kit that I bought to push the heater in my old bug. I also seen these "turbos" on race bugs to cool the engine instead of the stock fan.
Wait a minute........ Maybe thats what I'll do is buy a set and cool down my !/4 mile moter for my bug!!!! Hell... two of those are way cheaper than what some aftermarket bug companies want!
For a turbo on a truck...... I say save your money and get the leaf blower from wallyworld. Its on sale this week for fall

I laughed my a$$ off when I saw those on Ebay. Did you see the amount of CFM it passes? It's like 130-200 CFM. Since our motors probably pull around 600 at WOT, it would be dragging that little electric turbo. What a scam. I bet if you added the Tornado to it, you could get 10psi.....NOT!!

Wholly sh1t, I have an electric turbo charger on my 16' SeaSwirl boat and didn't even know it. One day my "electric turbo" burned out and had to be replaced. This was a very sad day, not because the boat was lacking power, no, no, no, it's because I didn't want to to blow up my boat and me along with it.
The "Electric turbo" that's listed on Ebay works great to evacuate the flammable gas fumes from the sealed engine compartments of boats. That's why marine dealers sell these these blowers to vent the engine compartments of boats, not force air into an engine! One spark in an unventalated engine compartment filled with gas fumes and, yeah you guessed it, BOOM. Time to roast some dogs on what's left of your boat.
I would love to meet the dirt bag that thought this scam up and the people who were gullable enough to buy it.
BUYER BEWARE, if it's too good to be true, it is.
