"Richard, how do they get access then? Which products do get endorsed by the forum?"

No products receive an "endorsement" from the owners of the forum. We have several paid advertisers, of which Google is one of them.

In the Google arrangement, they rotate various ads at random at their choosing.

The other advertisers sell various Porsche products.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this thing on late night infomercials but called the vortex? Anyway I seem to also remember reading or seeing a consumer reports thing about it not doing a thing, maybe at the end of the magazine in their "hoax" section.


If it was that simple, every car would have it standard I think.

I have never seen any data that would substantiate the effectiveness of this "pretend" supercharger. Quality SC units are normally around $5K and up.

Caveat Emptor.
