electric turbo supercharger?

I have just seen the wierdest thing on E-Bay. An electric turbo super charger $31.99. It looks like a heater blower that you are supposed to put on your intake. Has anyone ever really given any serious thought to actually buying and installing one of these things? lol

NO!


Don't waste the time and money. It takes a ton of CFM, and compression to make good applicable boost. This is not going to do anything.

theyre getting better than they used to be, $90 gets you one with 700CFM but still alot of amps
some day it'll be a viable option but its just a waiting game untill the high quality parts get cost effective enough and it doesent use so much juice.

i have seen one setup that worked real well though....got a geo?

Good cfm... But, what is it when you are talking about actual efficiency, and positive pressure?

i usually don't say search to new people, but this has been covered recently, and extensively. basically, due to the differences of a turbo's turbine, and a fan that these consist of, they can't actually make that much pressure. causes more trouble than it's worth.
