Searching through google would have shown that they are basically a scam. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Lol I love how the title of the ad and the picture say free shipping and the shipping cost is like $17.

They're basically a fan that you can wire to spin inside of the intake arm. As if it is supposed to push more air into your motor. It's useless.

Don't feel bad man. We all learn sometime. You just stumbled upon the OGs. They're good people, just a little rough around the edges. :P

:lol: Would you rather I hand out infractions for the flaming like I am technically supposed to or just remove the posts? I could do both if that makes you feel any better about it...

I am as annoyed as you are but I still have a job to do.

What about a simple "this has been covered several times please search" and delete the thread?

Can't do.

It's a catch 22. We do that and we have members up our ass about deleting threads, not helping, bla bla bla. We removing flaming posts to guys like this we get members up our ass about not removing the threads.

Damned if we do and damned if we don't.

If it was a rule to search first, then ask, how would they have any grounds to b***h and argue?

Don't know man, but they still do. It is a rule NOT to flame members no matter what, yet people still do and then b***h and argue when an infraction is given.

In the same breath, here we are going off topic of the OP which is also one of the rules. :shock:

I am as fed up at the constant posts asking the same thing over and over and posts so simple as this thread that can be found in less than a second on google as the next guy, but if we removed all of them there wouldn't be any new members. Granted most of them end up leaving shortly after posting anyway, but some stay around for a good amount of time. We ALL started somewhere. I guarantee you. If I went back to your first posts, I would bet a guess that you posted something that was asked a million times just like everyone else has.

Thus is the circle of life on a public car forum.

BTW if we post to search and then deleted the thread no one would see it as it would be gone, the member wouldn't know and would repost again.

If the thread is left alone it shows up on a search engine thus bringing traffic to the site regardless of if it was asked a million times or not. Everyone of them brings searches through google and other search sites drawing traffic and keeping this site around.

What do you want to bet?

I was thinking more along the lines of deleting the thread, and send a PM to the poster stating the issue with the thread and why it was created.

Baaaaaack on topic....They are a rip bro. Some ingenious idea someone thought about to make some quick money. Imo a new air filter would bring better performance than that junk. Want a real SC look for a JRC. Expensive and rare but cheaper than boost, imo once again.

Most are going go argue that there is no such thing as a reliable turbo car, especially when you add cost effective in there. What engine do you have and what is your price range look like if I may ask? Also what are your goals with the vehicle? Dd, race, both? Mpg? The more detail, the better we can answer you.
