looks like a turbo. looking at the gst that had the "install" i couldn't find it.
i think ads like that are scams. if you want cheap and quick power get nitrous.

Some of the electric supercharges do something, others do nothing. I have seen some who push a TON of air and can blow up a huge trash bag in seconds. I would imagine they would work, but who knows. I am always worried about it breaking and pieces going into the throttle body. Especially if you run the thing nonstop b/c it is just an electric fan. Most kits have it kick in on full throttle.

But anyway, don't trust the pic on the page there. Try to find out what it really looks like b/c I don't think that is what you are really getting. Be very leary.

And in the forums testimonial pics section, those are not real pics. Just look at them. The Caddy one looks like a magazine picture, and the other one is not even with a car. The site seems legit, but I don't trust places without real pictures or someone to ask how they like it.

This shows a home made one but i would guess the effect is the same.

uh....no, its a waste of money. Its funny how they advertise their product, if you check out the site they have no actual pictures of their so called electric supercharger kit. Its a scam...dont waste your money.

maybe at low rpms and a little bit of throttle they work... but the better part of me keeps saying don't do it because im sure at WOT and higher rpms, the engine is '' sucking '' way more air than thats '' blowing '' and may even hinder the motor getting its air because of the damn fan not keeping up...

show a proven dyno and i'll jump all over it.

Doesn't work.

If you understand the Laws of Physics, you'll realize that you're actually gaining work for free. This "supercharger" can only add as much power as it takes to make it work. Unless you're using 50whp worth of electricity to run it, you're not going to gain 50whp...that make sense??
