It's a fart fan scam. These idiots don't even have a picture or description of wtf the product is.

Anyone trying to sell you an "electric supercharger" of any sort will be a scammer. They are nothing more than high powered fans and fans will not compress air.

Well I'm talk just about this one... This is just the dirt one that popes up when I did a search.

The cheapest supercharger I have seen is like 2500 and that's almost as much as I bought my camaro for haha

Bro, forced induction is so f'ing expensive..you should look at nitrous if you wanna go fast for cheap.

But I thought it costs a lot to... Plus, I thought it did damage to you engine over time. Plus you can run out of nitrous, where turbo/supercharger will be working all the tome pretty much

Electric supercharger isn't going to provide boost... the reason is it isn't a compressor it is a fan. That kind of stuff you find on eBay all the time. Don't waste your money.

As far as nitrous... properly done it doesn't hurt your motor. The big downfall is it is temporary power that you have to keep refilling

Wow!!! These guys are only a few miles away from me. Maybe I should go down there to have a look at their operations. Too bad I don't have my turbo setup together yet or I'd show them real forced induction. These are probably the same guys that hang stuffed animals from their rear bumpers, and put those whistles on their fart cans to make it sound as if they have a turbo.

You could ditch that turbo setup and get 1,000,000 more horsepower. Like an electric water pump the electric turbo doesn't strain the engine.....

As the saying goes; you gotta pay to play.
