They don't work without a special Snake Oil lubricant.

Thats what I am figuring, but they offer a money back gaurantee ? Surely
people would just send them back !

I wouldn't buy anything that claimed to do something unless I knew enough
people had tried and liked it.

Hence the post.

Rich,

I think that you are trying to blow up your engine :-) and you
will not sleep before that.

We need spare engines and money!!! To play you need to buy the parts
;-) I saw a magazine with a Germany Look 1303 with a turbo from a Volvo
S40 on a T4 engine (200hp)

Do you know Nelson Piquet a Brazilian guy that won F1championship for 3
times? He has a beetle with 480Hp prepared by a Brabram F1 mechanic. He
used a beetle to race in 1970 prepared by him.

I once worked on a sand buggy that the guy said was putting out 600hp. It
was running twin turbo's with duel GM qurdrojet carbs. It was real wild and
I wanted nothing to do with it as for driving but I guess with that kind of
power he never had any trouble in the sand. It also had big paddle wheel
tires on it as well.
