For the record, it also looks like he sells 'Performance' tyres.

Wanli tyres! One of the BIGGEST tyre manufacturor in China!

And since when have Chinese tyres (That are Chinese owned and operated) been any good?

So what happens when the butterfly gate on the intake manifold closes and you get blowback and the fan spins backwards and when the gate opens again the fan is spinning the oppisite way from the air travelling past it.

That must $&#$% the system up something fierce.

Hyper Gauss... its just a bolt on magnet?

Seriously that fan looks like something you put in your computer not your car. With the back blow issue i agree, when the butterfly closes it would cause the fan to stop or spin in the opposite direction.

What next, Air intake lubricant - Lubricates the air into your engine for quicker response!

I wonder if you can put one in the exhaust to help clear gases and excess noise? Maybe I'll ask... :D

They do. Turbo beanies are VERY expensive. We have been trying to source cheaper suppliers for ages, but cant find any. Justr check out other prices around the globe ie in OZ - over $300 a unit.
