Pro's and Con's?

Well it is cleaner looking then any other one i have seen before. but i still dont like the idea behind them. I am sure they help pump a little bit more air in. but enough to create enough power for you to notice it? no

i wouldn't be surprised if it strains your electrical system....
and it'll probably whine loudly =\ electrical sounds are not nice.

This AGAIN? Please.
Better buy some fuel line magnets, too, while you're at it.

Your engine flows more CFM than that fan in a tube. You'd be hurting your engines performance. And, you'd probably suck that fan in you intake manifold at some point.

Don't forget to grab a few oil magnets... and fuel magnets... and the turbonator... and a few resister chips as well.

Thanks Jon/Milkboot/bahnstormer for the useful comments, much appreciated. Just thought it may have been worth looking into but obviously not. Seriously considering Miller MAF conversion but exploring other avenues before I rush into anything.

Qube, Mikell, while i appreciate your comments less sarcasm and more constructive suggestions would be helpful.

Those magnets will also improve the sound of your hi-fi system too!
Oh, and improve your sex life, enable you to eat twenty Big Macs a day while losing weight (without exercise), ensure you live to 165 years with the body of a 20 year old, prevent global warming and save millions in the third world from starvation.

Now let me see... did I miss anything?

Somewhere online there is a video of a leafblower "turbo"

I think it was talked about on the forum at some point. I will look for it later tonight when I am at work.

What was intresting about it is that it did work. However something like you posted... Chances are good that it wouldn't move enough air, and even if it did, the increased drag on the alt would offset any gains.

This is how it works
