So are you taking this paintball tank to a welding shop an having them put oXygen ( yes it has only 1 x) because in the 15 years of playing paintball, we have never used O2 to shoot paintballs, for one its too flamable an a waste

Glad im wearing my hip wadders cause the caca is getting deep, yesterday i couldnt spell oxygen today im boosting my car with it :O

Better yet just strap those coughB.S.cough 20,000 rpm fan to the back of his car an push it, Do you know how noisy a 20,000 rpm PC fan would be, I think you added to many 0's

Are you sure your not talking about COMPRESSED AIR? Cus i paintball quite a bit and I know that there are both CO2 and compressed air, not oxygen.

Some turbos spin over 100,000 rpm and they can be spun the other way from not having a bov. What makes you think that your dinky little 20,000 rpm computer fans wouldn't spin the wrong way then? -> For the record I don't think they are being spun the wrong way simply for the fact that you need psi pushing against them to make them spin, and since you aren't making any psi they aren't going to spin the opposite direction.

Any psi you think you are creating is being pushed out of the air filter.

IF you were actually getting more air into the engine, how are you adding the extra fuel needed to make more power instead of just going lean?

Dynos can cost as low as $45 for 2 pulls, it doesn't cost $400.

Yeah... Not to be a doubter, but I'm calling shenanigans on this one... I'm not buying the computer fans. I've seen a lot of 120mm fans, and I've yet to see one that I could possibly imagine using in a car setup. They're just not made for that. They're definitely not cooling anything down.


then again, maybe I'm wrong?
