Absolute waste of money. Does now work. The only thing it will do is make your billfold lighter. Right up there with throttle body spacers and the tornado.

 

^+1. Buying an electric leaf blower and rigging it up would be better and cheaper :rolleyes:

Get two and fabricate a custom intake that allows you to have one on each side, doubling the boost to 10psi and then you got some power! You will increase your mpg by 28% at the same time and be very happy with the results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or don't waste your money on scams and enjoy what you have already.

Oh........ That would be easy..... 1st, you'd have to get a decent size inverter (to change 12V DC to 110V AC). This will be needed to run the 110V leaf blower from your trucks electrical system.........

 

Then, you'd remove the air intake filter from the engine. Take the leaf blower (preferably the 225MPH kind) and attach the blowy side to the big hose going from where the air filter was (this may require the use of a lot of duct tape). Strap that bad boy leaf blower down inside the engine compartment and get yourself the appropriate size K&N filter and attach that to the intake side of the leaf blower (probably have to use the rest of that roll of duct tape). You may have to put a sizable bubble in your hood and the addition of a throttle body spacer.

 

NOW!!!!!........ Hook up an ON/OFF switch inside the cab of the truck and plug that bad boy into the inverter. Now when you need that "EXTRA BOOST", you just flip the switch, push down the pedal and hang on for dear life. :lol:

 

The other option would be to use a gas powered leaf blower........ That would only require that you splice into the vehicles fuel line. Maybe you could use one of those hose splice kits that you use for adding an ice-maker to your fridge..........However, pulling that damn starter cord might be a problem when some guy in a Mustang is sitting next to you, giving you the evil eye........ :rolleyes: ......

 

Trust me on this....... you'd be the talk of the neighborhood...... and your local fire dept..... :P

Did anyone actually watch the video in that link?

 

It shows the guy doing a complete install. If you have the patience/stomach to watch it until he actually turns the thing on, you can see all sorts of crap flying into the motor from the machining of that thing......... OMG, I almost died laughing. I can't believe ANYONE would buy that thing after watching that video. That video has to be the seller worst enemy...LOL!!!!
