Really CHEAP turbo

I don't think you can get much cheaper than JC Whitney's electric turbo and you even get to pick your color.

This electrically forced air induction system was designed for stock to lightly modified motors
Produces extra horsepower by feeding your motor more cubic feet of air per minute (803 CFM) than it would normally draw in
Works like a multiple throttle body system to create a nonrestrictive atmosphere in motor's intake system

Designed to produce an additional 16 to 53 horsepower on demand! Great for all cars not equipped with a multiple throttle body system! That's the equivalent of 185 MPH of wind being forced down your throttle body through the entire RPM range—it won't lessen at wide-open throttle. Complete with E-turbo, one connector and wiring harness. 12V motor is protected against overheating. Brushes are carbon-copper. For maximum E-turbo efficiency, car's computer should be recalibrated. Not designed for over 30 minutes of continuous use. Not compatible for Ford, Mazda or Audi nor with aftermarket computer chip.

Darn.

God I love the reviews, half of them sound like they put it somewhere other than their car they've got such a hard-on for the "e-turbo."

So many people tested these only to find out that they actually force less than 100kpa into the engine thus reducing power at wot.

Nice touch. Only downfall is I wish there was a way that I could have a blow off valve, but still for $350 its easier on my wallet. I can't afford all the stuff for big boost like the stuff in magazines."

I'm at a loss of words.
