Default electric superchargers? =/

so my friend just found this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1 electric supercharger for sale on ebay, and it all seems pretty legit, but im not quite convinced yet. i wouldnt expect more than 15 hp from it, but he want to put it in his 97 civic, just a cheap mod to get a few hp here and there. any input on this would be great, experiences, what to expect, etc. thanks for the help guys n girls.

sorry if this is in the wrong place, its about his civic, so i thought here?

for the price of a electric supercharger that will actually boost instead of inhibiting airflow you are better off just buying a jrsc cause we are talking about 1000$+ easily. There is one electric supercharger that can do 1 psi ish e-ram or something of that nature however it is still over $300 i believe and in my book not worth it.
