Another Ebay Item...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2442898020


First there was the real turbo. Adds awesome power and sound. Functional and a true performance adding part.

Next, came the electric turbo(the cheap ones)... Barely pushes 1psi or 100CFM's. This is #1 in the pointless products category.

Now... there is the next addition to the line of pointless products... A "turbo" that sits in the exhaust pipe only to increase backpressue, but attempts to create a turbo sound... Pointless... If you want a turbo sound, get a turbo or you are a ricer/poser...

lol. those don't even sound like turbo. they whistle like there's a hole in the muffler. the worse is they sputter during idling.

Re: Another Ebay Item...

Yeah this one has been posted before... holt shit that is the lamest thing that has ever been i think. But I am sure someone will come up with something to top it soon. How about a carboard supercharger? or maybe fake wings that simulate the fact that your car might be able to well fuck itself in the ass or something like that... who knows.

Sorry. I just thought it was funny. I didn't want to do a search of pointless ebay items on the forum, lol.

I just know one day they are going to come up with simulated gauges or something. Then ricers/losers/posers can say "Hey look! I've got a turbo gauge!", which will go along nicely with their fake turbos, complete with fake sound and fake intercoolers.

this is the dumbest thing i have ever seen. sounds like something that CrXb18c1 would buy. he would probably ask which is better for his crx, a turbo kit, or this thing that sounds like a turbo.

They should just record bass sound and play it so it sounds like they have an exhaust. The many sounds you can make with a good sound system are limitless! Turbo, Ptsh, exhaust, brrrrrrrrrrraaaaaawwwwww.

I got an idea... lets rephrase that Christmas idea...


"makes a GREAT christmas gift! ...For your worst enemy, or for the ricer in your family!"
