if anyone believes the hype and wants to try this without spending as much $, go here http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...1/12111/302/12

These fans are all over ebay for a lot more $ advertised as an electric supercharger. There's only 1 electric supercharger that I'd trust to perform and this isn't it.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

Actually that sucks. Arnt talons the co-develpoed eclipses that are all wheel drive and turboed? That would suck to have a car like that destroyed.

Some were turbo, most weren't. They are a dime a dozen and most commonly referred to as DSM (Diamond Star Motors).

Im starting to look for a project car and decided to give those a look because of the turbo, if I cant find a reasonable E30. Dusten, do you think a turbo talon would be a good project car? I know you work with jap cars.

I'm the wrong person to ask about that. The DSMs like to throw cranks. I think the gen 1s are strongest. But again, I'm the wrong person to ask about this.

If you want to cheap turbo project, buy a honda and put a turbo on it. For less than $5k you can have a 225hp honda (and that includes the price of the car).
