Is that the little electric fake supercharger? If so, don't bother with it, it doesn't work.

Turbonator is a waste of money with no real gains.

Popular Mechanics had a write up on these things as well as another 1/2 dozen gimmicky devices supposed to improve power.

I could be wrong, but didn't the little electric supercharger actually reduce hp in their tests?

I want to say yes - but I will have to look it up. From what I remember, various devices like the turbonator decreased HP 1-5% if memory serves...

... oh no you don't. E30 is the body style, nothing to do with the engine, thank you very much.
now, onto the important stuff.
1) Turbonator = BAD = waste of money
(hijack/)
2) Tell us about your engine swap!!
