These aren't proper superchargers or turbos. Absolute snake oil if you ask me.

Where's dogsharks for a little professional 'slick 50' style illumination?

Come on DS... these things are like fuel magnets and helium tyre inflators to decrease unsprung weight

Well, it just so happens that for $69.95 I could sell you the 'pipe-o-charger'. It's very easy to fit and I've found it increases horsepower.

Basically, it is a length of garden hose that you attach to the airbox of a 911. You take the hose from the engine compartment and through the driver's window, wedging it within easy reach of your mouth. When you blow really hard you get a 'RAM AIR' effect, which means more fuel can go in the engine along with the increased air charge. This gives you extra bhp by the bucketload*

So when you need extra power for overtaking, just blow into the PIPE-O-CHARGER (tm) and feel the power!!!!

You can buy PIPE-O-CHARGER now from all good garden centres, Iguana's storebunker or ninemeister.

Trade enquiries welcome.

Put me down for 2 mate. That way when my mrs is in the car she has got no excuse to keep yapping when she could be helping me.

2 hoses are better than 1 no?

That's right. $69.95 for one, or only £149.95 for two, special offer.

Do "waste gasses" produce a better effect than just blowing?
If so put me down for 2 as well please Mr Genuine product salesman.

No problems. We can sell an extra 'CHARGELIGHTER' attachment that ignites your gasses for even more intake charge pressure. This is only a $29.95 add on to your order. It most definitely isn't a 50p lighter and a rubber bad. No sirreeee.

Anyone want a fuel magnet while we're at it?

I suggested this to my wife also, but she flatly refuses to blow anything in the car

Could I hook up my air compressor for even more power

Actually, the computer model for the Briggs & Stratton showed a woeful deficit in the flow capabilities of the cylinder head that even the Pipe-O-Charger could not resolve. However help was at hand. A quick porting job removed the inlet manifold restriction and in combination with a revised cam profile and Rooke chip managed to yield a record 0.78bhp gain. We were pleased with the resultant talk increase.

That's an incredible percentage gain!

Can I book my lawnmower in for a 9M tuning job? Will it have any effect on the nitrous kit I currnetly run?

I have found that my car seems to have a lot more "talk" in it when the missus is in it too
