Turbo Sock

Has anyone ever tried a turbo sock? I see them all over e-bay, but they want like a hundred bucks for one. I was just wondering what all of the hype was about?

$95 for that? I don't think I'd waste my money, but thats just me. If you DO get one, let us know if all the hype is true.

Hmmmmmm......maybe you get some free HOT SHOT with it....they both seem to have RIDICULOUS claims.

Seems like alot of money for a material turbo shield. You can purchase a large roll of header wrap for less than that.

How can you say the claims are ridiculous when you don't even know what it is or what purpose it serves?

You ever try to cover a turbo with header wrap?

If you're building something like this, then the claims hold up..For the average guy on the street, it won't make a difference..
