electric supercharger?
ive seen this ad online for an electric supercharger. anyone tried it? the concept or theory sounds right, but it doesnt sound like it would work. it only works when the switch is turned on, and how can you vary the pressure as the rpm's go up? it just stays at 1 boost level the whole time, idling or not.

The Theory is solid but to date no one has ever been able to prove to anyone on here that they will actually perform the way they say.

You should just search through the site, cuz tons of people already done asked about this serveral times. An electric supercharger that you found is crap, anything electric. Dont buy shit off of ebay

well get a hair dryer, stick it into your intake and let us know if you feel any more power. Its just another e-bay scam.

what's weird is that it did have matches earlier today. i've found our search to be rather odd at times. like i would search for "cold air intake" and NOTHING would come up, but there's a lot of topics with right in the title "Cold air intake"
anyways, the e-supercharger is crap, total crap. it sounds good, but there's no way in hell it works. |

The e-supercharger is awesome. I put it on my alero and got 1 more hp and then I blew five fuses but the adrenaline rush was so worth it  |

It takes too much juice to justify a properly performing one, of which there is maybe just one on the market and it only works in short bursts. Why not do something proven like nitrous?
