From what I have read, those things cause more restriction than turbo.
Search youtube for that Australian video with the 2 dudes checking out electrical turbos.

Does anybody remember the TV show that tried improving the performance of an old V8 powered Monza by adding gasoline powered leaf blowers as "Turbochargers"? Didn't it take 5 of them running at peak RPM just to make a few H.P.?

Those things are a waste of $$$. More of a gimmick than anything. I'd save your pennies and swing for an aftermarket intake instead.

Sorry. They don't work. Get yourself a Needswings air intake. At least they work. Single or Dual, depending on your budget.

thanking Ala-xfire, I was worrying about if the new paint turned out different color.
my previous owner told me the car has been always hand washed and kept in garage to avoid hot florida sun.... the car still has perfect shine, I'm afraid all effort inputted in this car get ruined after new paint job.

I saw that, it was an episode of "Roadkill" they are all on YouTube. Decent episode, I am a big fan of the HS bodies RWD (Monza,Sunbird,Skyhawk,Starfire) The 327 from my El Camino ended up in a 1980 Monza. As for those devices, the mechanical equivalent of snake oil.
