Thanks for backing me up. You guys have been really helpful. I am a normalfag who has been lurking here for 2 years, but just recently finally took the step to buying a sports car and modifying it to suit my needs. Again, thank you.

A supercharger is going to set you back over 5K so don't get your hopes up.

What do you guys think of this cheap turbocharger?

you can build your own turbo. this technology isn't even that complicated.

where it gets amazing is when you bring new concepts to the table, like deliberately misfiring so the exhaust ignites and spins the turbine even faster. THAT is when you need to trust the professionals.

>this technology isn't even that complicated.

Do you even know what turbocharging a car entails? It's not as simple as putting it on and going.

yeah, a lot of shit. but it's still simple. you're compressing air, and controlling heat in its simplest iteration

I think it's missing an intercooler, a lot of pipes, shop time to install, and a $500+ dyno tune.

I wouldn't buy a turbo without inspecting the bearings.

That doesn't even mention bearings. the only instance on the page is some guy saying the bearing "spins freely" in a review. I don't even know if it's a ball bearing or not.

>you're compressing air, and controlling heat in its simplest iteration

It's more complicated than that. A naturally aspirated engine is not built to be turbocharged. There are many things that one would need to take into consideration aside from the basics of how a turbo works. You can't just squeeze more air into the cylinder and call it a day.
