Would this actually work or is the guy full of it?

There have been a bazillion threads on this and similar products. Allow me to summarise:

1. They don't work.
2. People are stupid.

Basically says it's a load of bollocks. The article used to be free access.

YES!
it's an electronic fan that runs off 12V DC and draws about 0.14A if it's a cheapie, or about 0.3A if it's a decent one. some have ball bearings, some have sleeve bearings

NO!
you don't have to pay $269 for it, you can go to jaycar or any good computer shop and buy THE SAME TURBOCHARGING FAN for the bargain price of $20!!!

then you can buy some 80mm polypipe or just cable tie it to your air filter, and learn that it really doesn't do anything, and thank us that we just saved you alot of money

a while back, we had a guy on oldrollas who had the brainstorm of hooking up a fridge compressor into his intake, to cool the air before it went into his motor. OMG U SHOULD CALL IT AN INTERCOOLER!!!111111 Razz
