Re: Amazing 200hp NA Tibby!
Ok here is your one and only warning before you waste your money on gimmicks and Junk...
Topic #1
Electric Superchargers
http://www.homemadeturbo.com/tech_projects/el_blower/
I think that sums it up, they are pretty much a waste of money
Topic #2 Spiralmax/Tornado
First of all anytime you stick ANYTHING in your air intake path its going to be an obstruction of air flow, and will cause you to lose power. Also the gains from these products have not been proven, because well they cant be.
Topic #3 "Chips" "Computers" all other electronic crap sold on Ebay
These are in fact only a resistor that you wire wherever.. i never bought one to figure it out. Anyway they dont work. if you are looking for a "computer upgrade" you'll want to get an S-AFC II, E-Manage, SMT-6 its not worth it.
Im sure I may have missed a few things so post below if you have any other "gimmicks" to add
