Does it sound too good to be true? Yes? Well, duh!

OK - just looked at your D.O.B. I understand. Believe me, there IS no $70 way to get 35hp (except by maybe driving around with no body on the car. But even then ...)

Taking the body off your car will not increase horsepower, and neither will electric fans.

It's a POS, which we have repeatedly complained about it being advertising here on AF. Unfortunantly, the ads are based on 'keywords' that we type alot. Being that this is a car forum, the word 'turbo' comes up often, so the advertising search agent posts their ads, because it's AI believes it to be relevant to our interests...

Well, snowman, if you were an old fart like me, you'd've ceased to believe in stuff like that decades ago.
