hello i did a search for these but couldnt find much info, just wondering what the main advantages are, i assume you can adjust them pretty easily but apparently they are not legal for the road as exhaust gases are vented straight to atmosphere, however i'm sure certain age cars could get away with it as most of our cars dont have catalytic converters anyway. any ideas? cheers gav

how did i know you would be the first to post a reply and what a good reply it is thankyou, look forward to maga7ine

just in case anybody is confused i found this looks pretty simple dont know hoe effective it would be though..

As Mini1071s says hears a pic of mine this is how ive read and being told to do it

Hi,
How big is that compressor housing! Are you planning on pointing the outlet out the back of your car to propel it along?!
Cheers,
Gavin :)
