Default The $150 dollar SUPERCHARGER........

I was browsing ebay today and saw a 12-volt all Electric (no belt) SuperCharger with filter for only $150.

Anyone tried this device ?

Or light it on fire, flush it down a toilet, etc. That's exactly what you're doing buying that thing.

Aren't these good for like... 1psi....? I'm seriously asking.
What is the marketing ploy to get people to buy these? Gas mileage? It can't be hp.. Or is it just so you can say "it's supercharged"

its just a marketing ploy, like the tornado air filter thing. they don't work, they will more than likely just disrupt your intake air flow and cause a drop in power and mileage.

You're honestly better off with a leaf blower. There's vids with dyno pulls to prove it too
