Wow..check this ebay listing out! What a great mod for our HHR's. Now who's willing to take a risk and put one of these in their car? NG, CH, CJ?

It promises so much for so little! I cant believe more people are not jumping into this!

I hate to see people getting ripped off....Electric "turbochargers" are a joke.. might work at idle (why would you need boost at idle?), but a real real turbocharger has to run 50,000-100,000 rpm pushing hundreds of cubic feet of air per minute. The turbines are very tight tolerances. Can't be done with a plastic fan. I've seen many marine bilge ventilation fans, like the ones in that auction sold as turbos or superchargers. It's better to save your money and buy something that works.

Sounds like a good deal, I'm tempted on being the first to do this mod...

why not just rig your leaf blower up to a cgs intake, turn it on high and see how much hp you gain.

hmm...that might actually work.

Anyone have a 100 foot extension cord for the leaf blower?

No but I do have a power converter to plug into the cigarette lighter. Only need a 4' extension and a "power bulge" for that extra 10 hp increase!

That's why they make power inverters. You'll probably only need a five foot cord.
