I can't take any product seriously from a company that sells elecric superchargers

TurboRevs doesn't have the best of reputations on this forum - the proprietor used to post here, but doesn't any more

Was he banned? Can't remember...

By all accounts LSD Lambo doors are supposed to be good. TUV approved.

That said they were cool in 1999, not sure they'd look good on a two grand Fiat Coupe.

For me Lambo doors are for just that..... A Lambo...


Coupe now sold!

They look great on frameless doors, ie, on a lambo but when you see these bolt on kits in operation with their wobbly action, I think they look a bit nasty.

Nigel, electric superchargers are coming in but I agree, the electric fans turbo revs was selling weren't the 24v 800,000rpm systems car manufacturers are fitting now.

I've seen the reports on the elctric superchargers - I have a feeling they're rather more potent than the cheap Chinese jobbies Turborevs are selling

I also recall that the Audi versions were purely to fill in the pre-spool hole on a turbocharged car. they will undoubtedly have all the associated electronic trickery to remove them from the inlet tract when the turbo spools - something that the Turborevs item won't have, rendering it a significant restriction once the turbo is doing its job properly. In fact, I would imagine the Turborevs "supercharger" would be a restriction on a n/a engine as well

Back to Lambo doors on a Coupe. No - just NO!

Any pretendy stuff on the Coop is a solid no from me. Lambo doors are just so wrong fitted to a Coop, they only belong on a lamborghini hence their name.


Your car you can do anything you like with it. You did ask.

How do you get in and out without crawling through a big puddle your bound to park next to? Is that as far as they open?

not keen on the lamb doors.. but an see a practical use... when in tighter car parking space, should make it easier to get in out when that person parks next to you in the otherwise empty car park as people do.
