Hmm ?45 quid ??

Did anyone read the disclaimer?? I especially like this bit.



Disclaimer

The reasons why the Surbo may not work satisfactorily may be:

2. Modifications. The following may take torque away from the car so the Surbo system cannot function:

* a. Wheels or tyres that together increase overall wheel size.
* b. Excessively hot air intake.
* c. Oversized exhaust system.
* d. Other mods that cause a rich mixture.


Err right then, so it probably won't work for most NOVA's then.

supposedly this thing is a 12v dc fan as fitted to PC's for cooling

i seriously doubt it could hold the claimed 0.3 bar at anything more than tiny throttle angles

anyhting over half throttle and the engines sucking in more air than that thing can blow making it totally redundant if not a hinderance to the air flow :o
