Yeah those things on ebay are cheap, and cheaply made....... Don't even risk it. If you do go that route use the link suggested by 2True.

No. No Galants that I know of.

A dude on my Mazda forums got one for his Miata... he swears by it. Says it was the best investment into his car he has made thus far.

It works like a Nitrous boost, rather than all time power like a SC or turbo. I'd say it is def a better/safer alternative to the happy gas...

not worth it either. Don't even bother. Don't get too excited, all that hype will have you disappointed if you buy it. There's nothing better than a good old turbo system.

For the thing to make any significant power its gona take a ton of electricity, which anyone with a large sound system knows...your car aint too good at providing large amount of power in the electrical system. But in the upper RPM range it just might work...the es 400 or whatever it was. From idle, its not gona do a damn thing for you cause your car just wont provide the amps the 3 motors will need to actual get 1psi out of em.

It has battery cells Jip, you charge the thing when you don't need it.. like while driving on the highway to the track. It holds that charge until you push the button... no strain on your alternator whatsoever.
