Default alternator turbo? wtf?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-B...temZ8066548890


Good day all, what are your thoughts or experiences with this? I am a fan of real exhaust driven forced induction at heart, but I wonder if this would work

i'd assume it has an internal oil system like most centrifigual superchargers

I bet it works, they show it mounted on cars and whatnot. Althoguh i'm willing to bet the balancing on it sucks, and it probably smokes itself (and that alternator) in a few weeks.

Well, I've never seen a video of one installed but theoretically it should work. Not sure if it gets to an efficient rpm range. Balancing might not suck too bad if they offer a one year warranty.

Everyone on HMT donate some money and I'll try it :P

$1500 is way GHEY for a forced induction system. I'd rather build a better HM-turbo setup for $1000

doesn`t look like the gear will spin fast enough nor the belt can be tensioned
