I used to have a screenshot of an auction I saw, right after the PSP came out, a guy sold the box his came in for just over 200 bucks. it even said in the auction that it was just for the box.

I cant bring myself to sell something so silly with my main ebay account, I use it for work and make sure I keep a very good rating, i use my wifes account for selling jars of blonde thoughts other silly stuff

Bottom line is you can't make free power. Any possible power gains would be off set by the increase load put on the alternator. There is no way those little fans would be able to provide any boost out side of an idle condition.

Its not possible to build something that creates more power than it consumes.

Wanna cheap HP boost?
Step 1: Call your relatives in Kentucky.
Step 2: Have them get you a case of the finest moonshine they can find!
Step 3: Pour it in your gas tank and hold on!!!

Been checking out one Electric turbo that may actually work. I have a Turbo Caravan, Intercooled, `89. you wouldn`t believe how fast it is....When the Turbo spools up, approx. 2 seconds, hold on... The one I`m watching only activates at full throttle. But how often are you at full throttle? That`s pretty much the reason I don`t have it yet.

SIHHR, back tracked to see just who Hack was ??? Saw the thread and thought it was an open forum. Maybe you guys were just Shooting the Breeze , But some one earlier had asked about installing a supercharger on the HHR. That`s essentially a belt driven fan that adds more air. That`s all the electric units do.
There`s always someone discussing cold air intakes, and the like. None get called a Hack for their input !!!
No one has offered them a bottle of air either, TomsHHR.
