Its so JDM! Quoted directly:

N PARTNERSHIP WITH THOMAS KNIGHT TURBO

FORCED INDUCTION SYSTEM
JUST RELEASED THIS AWESOME NEW ALTERNATOR MOUNTED
BELT DRIVE TURBO (BDT).

THIS IS THE SIMPLEST FORCED INDUCTION SYSTEM EVER DEVISED.
All in all it was a good laugh. It looks like a normal eBay POS. Enjoy it for the 5 seconds of fame it will have.

looks like a cheap supercharger, well looks like they took the exhaust housing off of a turbo and put a gear on there, I bet it might work if the gearing is right.

Yeah...uhmmm...okay.....weak.....

It probably works, and it might work ok at 5psi, but that's a stupid design. For the price you can do so much more.

Sad thing is most kids don't know anything about anything and when they see a 3500 turbo kit, and a $1495 for this junk of junk, they will buy this thing.....Too bad they don't know HMT....
