Not a faked video, it's just you can't tell how laggy/incorrect it is unless you're doing the driving.

Also, it's not one to one, that is, by the time you hit 3000rpm it sounds like you're at 9000rpm in a v8 that's about to throw an electronic rod.

Which means you want to change at 2000rpm to keep the thing sounding "real"...Oh, and the drone...Worse than a taiwanese canon on a 4cylinder with the centre resonator removed.

(I tried it in a Starlet, and a Lancer). Biggest waste of money.

I think I was expecting too much.

I dl the iBoost turbo and then the supercharger one, quite fun and funny at the start but got over it after a couple of drives. It works well even in an auto.

Wilch, want to throw it my way if you dont want it anymore?
