it offers about as much horsepower as a ram air hood, NOTHING and it is also a complete waste of money. Take your 67 dollars jam it in your pooper than crap it out and then take your 99 cents and buy a few packs of starburst. That would be a better option with the money

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If this thing really worked, they'd probably be asking a lot more than $68 for it. Even if the thing cost $5 to make, if it added 30 horsepower, they're going to ask hundreds of dollars for it. I doubt anyone that's replied on to this thread thus far has actually tried one - I sure haven't - but the best advice I can give you is to stay far, far away from the "electric supercharger" - or ANY car mod sold on ebay, for that matter!
Try a search. It seems someone asks the question about the "electronic supercharger" every other week. You'd save yourself a lot of ridicule by reading the ridicule others have suffered for asking this same question. Just a respectful heads up for next time.
