Default Electric Turbo chargers???

My husband was looking on line and found an electric turbo. It says it will work with my car and add 45HP.
I had never heard of them before and dont really want to mess my car up.
Has anyone tried them?

It will only add 45 HP by making your purse lighter.

Thank you

There was a test done by homemadeturbo.com and they said that the car actually felt slower with the electric supercharger. COMPLETE waste of money.

look at it this way. any transducing power gets power from somewhere. in this case its getting voltaage. voltage provides current and when there is a voltage draw there will be less available to you igniting system. it will waste MORE power than what its supplying. they give you a "output power" which was never proven in the first place but them scamming ***** never tell you what its using. Just like "PEAK" power in car audio amps. Its trying to rip off the unsuspecting consumer. Hope that helped.
