i feel sorry for you guys who have spent £1000s on mods and maps. all you need to do was spend £200 on a CLASS supercharged intake system. as for the performance gains i think a restrictor would need to be fitted somewhere.

Ha reminds me of the days i passed my test and had my 1.2 Corsa.

Universal Induction kits and wee regulator type chips you buy off ebay for £2 swearing you get an Xtra 100bhp! Oh the good old silly days :)

even better is the demo with the blade's spinning the wrong way :lol:

haha thats genious!! I didn't realise a traditional belt driven supercharger forced air out of the engine! Maybe if they been using superchargers like that, thats why they found theirs was better!

I expect the amount of electric that crappy little fan eats, means that the alternator would have to work harder to keep the battery charged, using more power from the engine, so sapping any 'gains' anyway

ffs.

if we could get electric motors to produce more energy than they are using, we would have no need for petrol or diesel engines and would already all have electric cars..

This is almost as bad as my mate insisting that pool balls come of the cushions faster than when they hit them... took me ages to convince him that thats not possible and that if it was if you put two cushions close enough a ball would never stop... you cant make energy out of nothing.

Technically they could. Otherwise a trampoline would be pointless

:lol::lol::lol: constant enertia so if you wanged the pool ball really hard around the table it would just keep going and get faster and faster and faster and faster .....
maybe you should have told him about newtons law .. every action has an equal and oposite reaction .... im still baffled as to how they can be selling these surely its false advertising ???
