Zinc alloyed metal aka pot metal which is the shittiest kind of metal you can use for anything. So brittle it breaks by looking at it funny, and when it does you can't do anything about it. Yay bent valves from cramming chunks of metal in the intake. ------- monkey metal cheap ----, I hate pot metal.

Looks like it would be the same concept and roughly the same horsepower as a turbo. Just without the stupid ---- like piping, intercooler, management, injectors. Buy it now 24.00?? Im getting two. See you on the track!

Uhhh am I just seeing the picture wrong or do the fans face opposite directions? Looks pretty counterproductive to me.

I like how they say "zinc alloy" like it's some awesome metal. Oh, and the jet design!
