MGV101 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Wow... I have always thought about this idea and wondered why no one made a system like this and arrived at the conclusion that maybe because this doesn't work. Now that someone is actually making it, I may have to reconsider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I knew it was cheap to suprcharge the 2.5i I am getting me to to make it a bi-supercharged car! I'll put one on the intake, and one on the exhaust in reverse order for mad powa!!!! :lol: X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhatV8 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Heck for that price, I would quad turbo my 2.5i for super-mad power!! One turbo per cylinder, that would net a solid 8-12psi boost...GT's BEWARE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoplightAssassin Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Why stop at 4 when you could have 7? lol I've wondered before what if someone actually engineered an e-charger the right way? It seems like the best of both worlds. Almost no lag and no parasitic hp loss like a supercharger. Meh just some food for thought. OK go ahead...flame on!

They are probably guaranteeing(sp?) that you will be running 62+HP after plugging in their chip. Shouldn't be too hard, considering stock is 175HP. So basically they won't take away any more than 113HP by my calculations. It is quite amazing that almost every vehicle on the planet can benefit from this 62+HP chip too...quite the product I must say!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonman586 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Are you kidding me. I read somewhere that those things are like bilge pumps sold at wal-mart for $20. Those things will probably do you more harm than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuhocheung Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 what if this thing really works? has anybody ever tried it??? i'm just playing devil's advocate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwhillVT Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I had a friend who bought one of these just to see what it was. We had a good laugh when we saw that the 62+ hp "chip" is a single 10cent resistor that they instructed you to put in line with your IAT sensor(intake air temp). The idea was that the computer would be fooled into thinking that the incoming air was cooler. In theory, cooler air would be more dense and the ecu could add additional fuel. For anyone who knows anything about combustion- this would cause the engine to run rich since you don't actually have that extra air. If you ask me, $7 is pretty steep for a resistor that will cause your car to run like shit. It's pretty funny that people buy these things expecting something ground breaking.

Elliottlj Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 lmao i always wondered about those things i always thought that they just tricked people into paying for something and they just wouldnt send it lol i guess there is actually a product.. but of course it doesnt work lol they dont even have a picture of it it just says all the good things it does for your car lol but it doesnt say if you actually instal it your motor will give out and your car will get crappy mpg lol 62+hp FTW lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 And just wait until that thing reaches 50,000 RPMs (mostly from the intake air rushing past the "compressor" blades), detonates and frags into the intake...then what?

biz77 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 The "performance chip" is an ingenious sell on ebay if you think about it. The guy is offering a money back guarantee on the product itself, but look at the shipping charges. You'll get your $8.99, the cost of the "performance chip" refunded, but you'll never see the money you paid for shipping back. It likely cost him ~ $1.50 to actually ship the product and even on the off-chance that someone takes the time, effort and expense to ship the product back he still made ~ $5 on the transaction from the shipping charges alone.
