I knew a guy who put one in his honda, one night at the local weekly carshow we were standing around and he ran back to his car because he forgot to turn it off when he turned the car off

This part from eBay cracks me up
Further, since this device is only designed to work under full throttle, you either have to run the switch inside your car through the firewall or mount the switch in a way so it turns on the charger at full throttle. Full throttle means when you car is floored or almost floored. This device is not designed to be on for more than 30 seconds at a time. It needs about 5-10 seconds after every 30 seconds for cool down. Don't let that bother you, keep in mind most vehicles will go 120+ MPH in 30 seconds.

Odd they say it makes up to 5lbs of boost but it usually adds 10% more HP/tq. So 20rwhp so 4rwhp per pound. Not to great
