Just use an electric leaf blower, same idea. Plus you can clean you driveway when you're not driving

Man, OBDII is EVIL. I'm telling you, I have yet to see an OBDII car that would run correctly(in a long term predictable manner) that was not a direct EEPROM type flashable ECU. Trying to trick OBDII with a piggyback is just not practical from what I have seen.

But yeah, go for it. I am curious

Ya trust me...I've had the devil hang out with me while trying to tune an OBDII..waste of time. What I'm saying is this thing doesnt require tuning since its only to 5 psi. Our cars are safe up to that with no tuning required(OBDII ofcourse). It says it can only be used for about 30 seconds at a time, then should be let to cool for 5-10 seconds...personally thats fine for me...im never flooring it for more than probably exactly 20ish seconds.


This sounds fun.

I honestly dont know anything at all about spray. I do know that its dangerous if installed wrong and used wrong. Also, the idea of having to refill the tanks seems annoying. I appreciate your opinion. But I just dont know enough about spray to take that into consideration. Plus I wouldnt want a tank in my car. Also, the item I've posted seems to be more practical wouldnt you say?

Ya I was thinking of getting it and installing a boost gauge and seeing it run at full throttle. I want to do this but I'm wondering if its really really worth it. I know I aint gonna go turbo or swap for a loooong time, so I am thinking this could be fun for a while. Im waiting for more opinions from people.

Looks pretty cool, but that fan blade just looks too generic to hold up pressure. Try it man
