It's a piece of ****. My friend sold 1 to me before and it's supposed to be more fuel economy according to him but the fuel economy is worse on the highway

Ha Ha that is funny I made this for my CRX in Grade 12 mechanics as a project and I think I ended up get an A for it... I called it The "Aircharger" system back in '92. I wonder if I have the drawings and specs of it some where? I used a servo system hooked up to the tach so as the rpms went up it, it would blow more air into the engine! It seemed to work better the just putting a k&n filter in... The problem is with a electric turbo is trying it to get it to spool the speeds you can get a turbo to spool at, with out spending the bank. The stupid thing is Air charger is a trade marked name now and that some on is probably making something off this! Crap I could have been a millionaire

all **** vendors on ebay have massive feedback. i think its a scam where they get all their friends to leave positive feedback.... or they sign up with hundred of their own accounts and "buy" stuff from themselves. then again most of the feedback is "good seller!" or "fast shipping!" ..... not like "OMG AWESOME HORSEPOWER!"

then you get some fool,who actually DOES buy it and leaves honest feedback.....

Purchasing and installing one on an Impreza should be an automatic ban!!!

It's hard to imagine folks are so damn gullible. WTF is the world coming to?

well you could use AC to dramatically cool an air to air intercooler but the parastitic drag on the engine from running the AC compressor alone would defenately kill any gains in HP.

I find it funny how they feel the need to explain the firing cycle of a 4 stroke engine.

Loomin, what if you have a small auxiliary motor that drives the ac to cool down the air??? we can sell this idea on ebay and make a fortune!!!

I wonder why people don't think its a scam...
