Talk about an epic fail....BIG TIME!

someone posted this stuff up from a local forum around here and it's pretty funny.

Ebay sale is going on right now but gonna post a snap shot for when the sale ends on it.

What makes it even funnier is that 2 ppl have placed bids on it hahaha!




In case you can't read the description

this is a project of mine, its a garrett turbo charger with an electric blower motor connected to it so it eliminates the pain of running all the exaust piping and other pains of turbo charging your ride, plus not to mention the money you will be saving and still get the power you desire. right now it has a wall plug on the motor so you will need a cross over from that to your battery( they have them at walmart for around 20 bucks and what that does is you plug it into your cigarette lighter and it has plug in ports for the two prong wall plug. this electric turbo is all silled up with silicone so no air leakes. you may want to add another layer of sealant though just to be safe. I'm not sure exactly how much boost it pushes but i do know it blows enough to use it as a leaf blower. it has alot of power that would make a big difference in you ride.i don't have any of the air tubes or filter for it. what ya see in the pictures is what ya get. like i said this is a project of mine that i built my self. i was gonna put onto my eclipse but the computer went out of it so im selling the parts i have for it. this this pushes alot more air than those plastic electric super chargers. if you have any questions feel free to ask. i only except paypal and only ship inside the usa thank you

wow, it really worries me that this has gotten bids. I think i'm going to pull out some crap from my storage unit, cut it in half, glue it together and put it on ebay

also, i get the feeling he's about to kiss that 100% feedback rating goodbye

He probably had his friends bidding on it to bring up the price.

Looks like a pencil sharpener with a turbine on it.
