Seeing what you think of the turbonator if anyone has one and also if anyone has an electric supercharger. I want to know if they actually make a difference..i have a real supercharger but just wondering on these...

You shouldn't be modding a car, if you don't know off hand they won't work. But since you are a newbie, i'll go easy on you. For the money those piles of shit cost, you could actually do a mod that you will notice an improvement. That turbonator runs what? 60 or so bucks. Get both upper and lower engine mounts. Whats that leaf blower run? prolly somthing ridculus like 400 bucks? THere is a CAI and new header. All of that is a solid gain of atleast 10-15 HP.

He said his car is supercharged...with a real supercharger. He was just getting opinions for his own knowledge about the pieces of shit turbonator and electric supercharger. Obviously he knows at least a little about what he is doing.

ok peeps


A turbocharger DOES NOT INCREASE AIR FLOW BY BLOWING MORE AIR INTO YOUR SYSTEM. A turbocharger compresses the air charge and then feeds it to you engine. It's like taking all the air that is in the room your in right now and putting it into a beer bottle. Still the same ammount of air..... Just more compressed, Which means you have a more dense air charge.


Like this.




Now a "eletric supercharger just twirls around and does nothing.



In fact I garuntee that when you went WOT your engine would pump enough air to Drive the fan.

I DO know what im doing with cars grew up with them my whole life..Im just now messing with my 4 banger...and i heard about the electric superchargers and turbonators from a friend who has a 99 grand am gt said he might try one so seeing if anyone had 1 would notice ANYTHING.. and the turbonator sais it has saves mpg which i looked at the sight not to long ago..I almost laughed..people thinking they will save mpg we run about 14 something to 1 on the highway anythink higher starts knocking and eventually blowing up something at like 20 to 1 if gm could save mpg they would...answering my own question feel like a jackass
