OK, I can see the 1psi boost, but what race car would use such a thing as illistrated on that site?  I can't imagine any real race car using something like that.

we go threw this about every 6 months or so. they are a good idea, but they also are  because everyone designes them to be like a fan, and go eather on or off with some kind of switch instead of using the rpm range to regulate air flow and psi... also they should use a turbine type fan like a REAL turbo, like electric leaf blowers use that flow 220mph or 400some cfm. they would produce way more psi. i think they only flow so little because they dont want to get into complicated stuff figuring out how to not stall out the motor, or use their brains at all.

Does anyone here change 2000ft in their elevation while driving their car? That's the effect you'll get. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.7 and 13.7 at 2000ft - 1 psi difference. I can't see how 1 psi would noticably improve your performance. IMO it's not worth the money. I call :bs:
