Where does it talk about turbocharging on that site?

I do read about additives, however, and smell a scam.

Sounds like one of those things you put in your intake and it supposedly creates a votex into the engine that don't work....I wonder if this is any different.

I'd have to guess that a 1 post poster who post a link to something that is potentially a scam; is just that.

That's my guess too. I was giving him/her the benefit of the doubt before deleting the thread.

Its just a high flow air filter like a K&N. In truth most of these high flow air filters don't filter as well as paper filters and the dirt they allow in wears out your engine quicker. I wouldn't call them green by any standard.

FYI: I got a private message from the original poster of this thread.

He strikes me as NOT a spammer, but perhaps someone without a lot of experience on forums who didn't realize his first post as written might appear to be spam for the linked product.

My first post

I'm sorry there was such a flap on my first post. I am not a scamer and never intend to be one. In fact, I was suprised by the reaction to the post.

Dremd, thanks for your kind offer of help. I understand most of what I read concerning automobiles. I was an apprentence & journeyman automobile mechanic in the mid 1950's but soon decided to move to a major airline but have never lost my interest in cars. I still turn wrenches on 3 vehicles and belong to several internet automobile groups. I am currently investigating a hybird, front wheel drive with an electirc motor on the differencial - the simpler the better.

easy
