That electronic SC is a bunch of
BS. He's talking about somehting called a turbozet. It's pretty much a CPU cooling fan that is approximately the diameter of the intake piping. IT CAN NOT SPOOL UP TO 1 psi less alone 3 or 4. Dyno test show you lose horsepower when using it because it acts more like a freaking restriction than a turbo with all of the space it takes up in the intake piping. It also causes your alternator to increase it's load in orer to produce enough current to get the fan to spin. I've heard some people lost as much as 14 hp at the wheels. Needless to say, it never really made it big in the states. It's made by some indonesian company.
