: Don't waste your money on those online electric turbos...make your own. The "Microchips" used by the ones online are garbage, they never get the mix right. Buy a used Eureka motor, $15-35 U.S., (these motors are really powerful) and play around with the setup until you get what you like. I run an Iceman cold air intake on my '00 Focus. All you have to do is afix the motor after the end of the flow tube and before the mass air meter, bingo, you have a turbo.
how do you justify calling that a turbo? a turbocharger is a centrifugal air compressor powered by an exhaust driven turbine wheel. you might be able to get away labeling it as 'ghetto ass weak as hell supercharger/blower' but calling it a turbo is lame. and high flow injectors? what, are you going to tell them to install 8.5:1 dish pistons too? what next, forced induction using bottles of compressed air and labeled as 'cheap nitrous'? if you're going to add power, add it right!
