that sums up electric turbos. No, you won't be able to beat the Talon with your electric turbo, sorry dude. You get what you pay for, an actual turbo is what you want.

Yea man, they add like 900HP!
Be sure to get some big stickers, and a couple type R badges too...
and a huge wing, you'll have so much power that even though it's FWD you'll still need one to keep the front of the car on the ground!

Ha ha, just kidding with you.

No, those belong in the dumpster.

EDIT: and make sure you make fun of those two friends of yours for wasting their money on the electric turbos.
