New FI kit for RX-8?

OK, so this probably belongs in the lounge. Mods, feel free to move it - but hey, it is performance related!

As seen on ebay:

Proving yet again that you can sell anything to anyone.

Cardboard Supercharger

"Custom cardboard supercharger setup for any import car. This setup is made with the highest quality materials and has been machined with fitment in mind. Bolt this on for any application and add up to an additional 100 wheel-horsepower and up to 75 ft/lbs of torque with this stage 1 cardboard supercharger. "

"Installation instructions are included as well as technical support. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Buyer is responsible for shipping at an additional cost. "

I love how the guy also says he'll provide technical support. I should contact him just for the laugh.

Looking at it, to me it actually looks like a "working demonstrator" of a supercharger that someone built for science class. And if it is, it's pretty damn cool.

But ... I digress.

That's more work than I ever put into any science class I've ever taken.

The questions listed in the link are really funny.

Wow...that HAS to be a joke. Cardboard adding 100 HP and 75 TQ.

I think I'm going to wal-mart and asking for all their cardboard right now. See you guys in the 1,000,000 HP club.

WHILE REMAINING LIGHT TOO!
