No No I really like the led in your dash to let you know when its on. Oh boy that says POS all over it.

When the LED is on your now faster, you should be able to tell if it actually worked. Led is off then your slow because now tyou have this POS in the way of the incoming air.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I want one in GReen and White..

Anyone notice the sellers name? It's "slowmirage" I guess this turbo kit didn't do much for him so he's selling it to Hyundai owners. rolleyes.gif *lol* tongue.gif

I should inform the FTC about this guy. I hate to see nieve suckers get taken. I can't believe people are that stupid to actually believe that crap works. Lets be real. If that POS was legit, every tuning magazine would be covering it. It would be carryed by every tuning shop and performance catalog. This is an example on how to get fast and furiously taken for your money. rolleyes.gif Pathetic! rolleyes.gif

You're absolutely right, but a lot of people who buy this kind of stuff aren't interested in spending the money to do this kind of stuff right.
Real car enthusiasts read SCC or whatever tuner mag to find out what mods will give your car the most performance for your money.
The people who buy this stuff don't shop at tuning shops... they buy the latest garbage off of ebay or from WalMart and stick it on their cars... which are either sh1tboxes or nice luxury cars they've bought for the image, not the performance.
All they want is for people to think they're cool cos they drive a nice, sporty, "fast" car.
By sticking one of these things on their intakes they can tell people their car is "super-turbo charged".
These people either don't have a clue or are incredibly cheap.

And then there are the naive people who really simply don't have a clue and are too lazy to do the research to find out what you really have to do to a car to improve it's performance, such as install I/H/E, or a REAL forced induction system of some kind, etc.
