                        TURBODYNE TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES
                MARINE APPLICATIONS FOR ITS TURBOFLOW(TM) SYSTEM

VENTURA, CA - Turbodyne Technologies, Inc. (TRBD.OB) announced today its new
application for its TurboFlow(TM) air induction system - high-speed
inflation/deflation of RIB watercraft.

Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) are becoming increasingly popular for both
recreational boating, commercial and military marine applications. The
TurbFlowTM can be used to inflate and deflate RIBs and non-rigid inflatable
boats at unprecedented speeds to reduce storage requirements. Lack of effective
high-volume air handling technology for recreational, commercial and military
marine applications creates a substantial opportunity for the TurboFlowTM air
handling system.

The marine-adapted TurboFlow(TM) system can inflate or deflate a 16 foot RIB or
non-RIB in a fraction of the time. Shorter, more practical inflation/deflation
time means more deck and more storage space. In addition, the new TurboFlow(TM)
inflation system and its high-efficiency on-onboard power supply allows military
amphibious landing parties to place fewer personnel in harms way for the
mission. Since boats can be rapidly deflated, rather than scuttled, no pick-up
team is required to retrieve the landing party, and the inflatable is available
for re-use.

The availability of the TurboFlow(TM) inflation technology has the potential to
drive overall RIB and non RIB sales in all applications since it can allow the
installation of a 12 foot to 18 foot RIB on a 40+ foot vessel without requiring
intrusive, multi-deck davit installation which often is more expensive than the
RIB itself. With the rapid inflation/deflation capabilities of the TurboFlow(TM)
many recreational buyers who would not buy because of trailing requirements can
now trunk or roof carry a deflated inflatable and have it operational within
minutes.

Current estimates place non-military, world-wide RIB sales at 12,000 to 15,000
units per year, nearly 100% of which are targets for the TurboFlow(TM) inflation
technology. The retrofit market is even higher, with approximately 1 million
RIBS already installed on pleasure yachts. Marine experts estimate that the RIB
and non-rigid inflatable new sale market could double or triple with on-board,
self-powered rapid inflation/deflation technologies.
