I liked mine so much that I installed one on my private jet. I left the cowling off so I can see the LEDs from the seat.


Used to be, the jet was really slow off the line. Now it really takes off!

Thanks GB I forgot about that one.

But it doesn't apply to my MINI.

Where's the plasma located.

This is the product that truly lost my interest in M7 as a vendor. I must admit I have not used any vendors except tire rack for snow's The entire "Plazma Booster" Voo Doo makes it difficult to consider them as a source for future Mods. Some of there products appear to be high quality, the Oil Catch can looks like a piece of art, I wish M7 could change my mind but honestly I will likely never give them a chance all because of the conversations surrounding the magic PLAZMA BOOSTER???????????????? 2 years of ownership of My S and the mods are just begining. I imagine I am like many and the funds are starting to become available for a car I intend to keep Vendors take note many of us will be spending soon who have been watching and waiting Now is the time and products with controversy surrounding them like the Plazma Booster is not where my dollars will be spent

The plasma is actually located inside the black box. The blinking blue lights actually indicate how much boosting plasma remains in the PB. If you watched the video, you would have seen that one light was always brighly illuminated and the other two blinked faintly. The faint blinking lights indicates that the boosting plasma reservoir is 2/3 empty.

In order to get maximum performance, this plasma booster is going to need its boosting plasma reservoir refilled. Unfortunately, M7 has discontinued this product and there are no more bottles of genuine M7 brand boosting plasma left on earth.

Not to worry though, because you can just go down to your local petshop and buy a bottle of reptile lotion. It's the exact same stuff.

So was there ever any info that said why M7 stopped selling the PB? I've done a search, but never saw a reason. Did I miss something?

I hate to do this but
"Bottom Line

If you like to have neat stuff in your engine compartment, this is the product for you. If you have done everything else for the same price range and want that little bit extra, this is for you. If you want the best bang for your buck, and are looking for a cost effective first mod, this isn't it. I believe there is a real market for this product for the first couple reasons though, and it is available for those who have to have it from Webb Motorsports. "

Sounds pretty generous more like a mutual vendor support than product endorsement. As I said I have not tried this or any other vendors products. But when I do spend the dollars I am looking for up front in your face no argument BANG for my Buck!! I wish M7 and his supporters the best. I encourage them to go after my hard earned dollars, so far there motives of gaining support have left me looking elsewhere. And that is unfortunate I love the look of there oil catch can. Wish they could convince me to do business with them.

PLASMA BOOSTER IN ACTION
I've got some battery powered Christmas lights I can install under the bonnet... I know, I know they are not LED and won't provide the same performance as the M7PB. But they do have that same cool flashing effect.

Maybe if the M7PB was mounted on the rear of the car, you could get some acceleration gains from the photon push.
