Without any proof (as in dyno #'s), I would say they are trying to sell crap.If they want people to buy their product they should prove respectable gains.The words significantly boosts HP isn't enough for me.

I would rather hook a leaf blower on my car and say it was a home-made supercharger.

I saw some feedback from a buyer who bought one from another seller (probably sme guy), said **** like it didnt work, what a waste, didnt fit, etc, another guy said eh couldnt tell a difference. Im not sure if its the same product or not, but I got to admit, it sounds like it would work, but I wish I knew what kind of boost it would give, if any

*L*....it might give ya .5 hp a 5 mph after that it would become a restriction....just think if the plastic fan blade start braking up..you engine would love diegesting some plastic pieces. it's nothing but a 25.00 blower motor for a heater<edited><editID>vfast</editID><editDate>37891.4720949074</editDate></edited>

It would be cool for like a group of 10 or more people to pitch in and buy one just to see if it did anything.

I thought about that pretty hard for a while. I wondered what would happen if I strapped one to the front of an intake ^^</P>


Listen, look at the price of a supercharger for 1 second.... 3700 bucks for a 4.6 kit. You get50 bucks worth of brackets, bolts, etc and a a blower unit, that not including r &amp; d cost mabye 75 bucks to manufacture. There hasGOT to be an easy way to MAKE something like that. I mean, that electric charger may be bs, but there has got to be an effective way to make something similar.</P>
