Spend your money on alcohol, that way when you p*** it up the wall you won't be sober.

i think it pose more of a restrican as the electic motor wouldnt be able to spin fast enough to create positive presure. You would need a big electric motor to spin an impella at the speeds that the motor dose. anyway i sent them a email carnt wait for the responce:w00t:
lol here what i sent them
i have a holden with a ls2 6.0lt motor in it i was wondering what sort of gains i would see using this electic supercharger and what sort of psi does it generate

i wouldnt risk it if its plastic it might be dodgy,break and go straight down your engines throat.
if you were gonna use one of them you'd strap a quad throttle setup on an excel or somethin and have one for each throttle body, might generate some power for once.lol.

it would restrict a 6ltr, i reckon on a motor scooter it would make it go hard as.

They are absolutely ridiculous. Its such a dodgy solution. The ones I've seen draw some phenomenal amount of current... up to a hundred amps... possibly more. Its only good for a couple of minutes before your battery is flat because the alternator can't supply enough current to keep it charged, not to mention the sodding thing would probably pose more of a restriction on a larger engine.

I think those things are designed to meet the needs of todays ricer. "Nawww man its tuff.. It has a supercharger" if they popped the bonnet and I saw one of those I would piss myself laughing.

Its kinda like how brand decals on the front quarter panels make the car at least 2 seconds faster down the quarter.
