Re: anyone know where to get a turbo?

Qball, first of all..ulness you do some headwork or atleast change your rockers...DO NOT GET HEADERS. It will be a waste of your money. I'd also recommend a DHP PCM before applying the headers. Second of all, it's my opinion that these electric turbos are a waste of money. But hey...do what you wanna do I guess. As far as installing the hair-dryer....I mean electric turbo, it just goes in your intake between your airbox and throttle body. Not that difficult to figure out really.

People...please do not buy these 240cfm? the only thing that would help is a lawn mower or maybe out flow a geo metro engine...on your grand prix i'm figrurin 3800 its gonna slow down the airflow if anything..so dont waste ur money

for the skeptics

yes, the normal draw of the engine is above 250cfm as you go past idle, but it is making the engine do less work to draw that air in. it's simple physics that matter moves as a sum of the net forces. it doesn't slow it down at all that i've noticed. if you look at the turbo, you can see that air could flow through it easily even if it wasn't running, and the turbine spins freely. i even leave mine off at lower speeds. if you would rather spend your money one something else, be my guest but i can only tell you what my experience with it has been. i have gotten better results in my 40-60mph acceleration, and i can go 105mph at 3000 rpm before my speedlimiter kicks in. i also get better mpg.

the answer

We tested many and found that there are only 2 that work, one we sell, one we don't. Basically what it comes down to is that "yes the majority of them are junk". You can pay a price range of $14-$250 for what you can pick up at any boating supply store.
Find out about Manufacturers Warranty, if theres none then it's junk!
Find out what the fans are made of, if it's plastic then it's junk!
Now I'm sure by now you want to know what we found that actually works
1) the electric turbo 800cfm (not 250cfm like what you find on ebay) yes this is the one we carry
check it out at www.cargodzcc.com
2) the Thomas Knight Turbo actually an electric supercharger made for quick boost (we don't carry it because we think it cost to much $1995.00 and you still have to buy more stuff to run it)
check it out at www.boosthead.com
