Just wondering, do electric turbos work at all? Does the blow off vlave simulator that goes in your tail pipe work?

Electric turbos and superchargers suck more power off your engine than they put out (if they put out any power at all) They're all JUNK.

NO, PLEASE DO NOT buy an electric turbo. I have heard a lot of discussions about those and none of them end with those being a good thing. How much HP does it say it can get you? Whatever it is, it is a LIE! HP does not come cheap... please please, even though i dont know you, dont get ripped off... I'm being serious.
As for the BOV simulator, it will not add any HP to your car. All it does is POORLY make the sound in which a turbo with a blow off valve makes. I wouldn't suggest you to one of those because people who know cars will instantly know you are an idiot.

Double No! electric motor cannot do what the big air compressor under the hood does already. Blow off valve on a non turbo car just for noise? WHY? Save your $$$

NO NO NO NO NO NO you can not move enough air with a boat bilge pump to create boost.
bov simulators do on the other hand work. They tell everyone that looks at your car that you are in fact a poser .

an electric turbo is possible, i have seen some random stabs at it, they dont work.
ive never seen one that actually worked, the theory is correct, it is possible, but to make one thats not useless, you would need to spend more than a supercharger costs.
im with the other guy, i HATE to see these moron ripoff artist pawning that useless junk on ebay.
and the tailpipe thing is VERY VERY VERY VERY counterproductive. it will create backpressure, you want to reuce backpressure.

no way they work, i was about to get one but i read the reviews and changed my mind... there is no way you can get power by pushing more air in your air intake hole!!!!!!!
