Aww man. Guess I'm back to the turbonator. Rofl, speaking of the turbonator. I actually saw their ad in a car magazine. And they also claimed that it only takes 5min to install it, and that it gives a 35hp boost. I'll scan the page later, to show that I'm not lying.

can't read the fine print on the ad, but I'm sure it says something along the lines of "results may vary"

the money-back guarantee must have a loophole in it too, otherwise the company would go out of business since they have to keep buying their products back

OK, do yourself a favor. Go buy some dryer tubing (or just take the one off of your clothes dryer that you are currently using), buy an electric leaf blower (either new or used) and a 12v dc to 120v ac voltage converter (primarily found at truck stops). Now, plug the converter into your cigarette lighter and go ahead and remove your airbox on the intake tract. Now attach one end of the dryer tubing to the intake and route the other end into the passenger compartment. Firmly affix the bitter end to the leaf blower. Now, only when you are sure that you are ready for stupid fast power, plug that bad boy into the converter. The next time you pull up to a stoplight and a civic wants to race, flip that switch and unleash hell! After this mod you should be putting down around 900hp to the wheels. Two warnings about this: 1.) Never use this mod above 88 mph, you car will morph into a DeLorean and you will crash into a billboard circa 1950. 2.) Never use this for longer than 5 seconds at a time without double clutching, floorboards have been know to fall out spontaneously.
