Found this while searching for Rabbit parts. I haven't seen these befor. I can't believe people buy this crap. :roll:

I wonder how long it takes for the bearings to take a dump and frag the engine?

so wtf... it just spins from the normal suction of the motor... and thats supposed to increase efficiency?

i could almost see this work on a carbureted engine, but not on a fuel injected motor... depending on where the fuel is injected though...

better get the leafblower turbo!!!

I had a friend order the "expensive" electric super charger back in the day. It made about 1.5psi of boost and came on only @ wot. It sounded neat but I assure you it had a very high Horsepower-per-dollar figure.

This ebay crap destroys innocent teenager's precious modes of transportation on a daily basis. :roll:
