Default Worst Electric Supercharger Scam Artist Evar

I know we usually all get a big kick out of the electric blower scammers on e-bay but I have found the king of the electric turbo scammers trying to ply his wares on my favorite porsche tech site.

This guy has gotten shot down in every way possible and he stays on and tries to BS his way through the criticism for OVER 17 PAGES.

Its a long read but this guy is one expert bullshitter and scam artist.

I gave up, i only got to page 10 Food for thought, a typical turbo requires around 60hp, the eram only draws around 7-800watts or approx ~1hp . Its bullshit, someone needs to put a boost guage on 1 to prove it $300 would make a nice downpayment on a real turbo system

The end of the story was that the Eram neither increased nor decreased hp. It did, however, make a lot of noise and cost $300.

I think it's particularly funny how this guy races at SUCH A HIGH LEVEL that he'd be using a $300 electric supercharger pushing 1 psi rather than...brace yourself...a friggin turbo. So it'd cost him $3k or $5k, so what? What level does he race at, anyhow?

While all the mathmatical and thermodynamic proof the guy is full of shit is on pages 16 and 17 that thread is now over 500 posts and 10000 views and the guy STILL won't give up.

why don't i just hook a leaf blower directly to my manifold? That would be icy hot. Those electric superchargers are actually called bilge blowers. They are for boats. LOL. I have seen them at a marine store for like 14 bucks. I wonder what kind of atmosphere they produce. Come with a plastic turbonetics G-Series wheel too? good god. my rant is done.
