electronic supercharger???

Im not even thinking on getting one but curiosity is killing me, does this thing really work?? Can you really get 20-30 hp out of this? Or is this just another ebaycr@p racing part. I even feel stupid for asking, im guessing it doesn’t work

Re: electronic supercharger???

looks like an electric squirrel fan, If it would push more air in than a natural aspirated intake then you may pick up a few hp but not worth trying

It can't work. The physics doesn't work out.

Re: electronic supercharger???

thats what i thought, im guessing the only way to achieve more horse power with something like this is by compressing and forcing the air in, just blowing it doesn't do the job, and its a platic housing. Im also guessing many people are being fooled.
