Re: Supercharger question

Re: Supercharger question

Those electric super chargers/turbo chargers are one of the dumbest things to hit the market. Like the other have said biggest waste of time and money. Those things actually do more harm than good.

Re: Supercharger question

There are 3 factors you gotta take into consideration here...1) It's an "electric super charger" lol. 2) It's an electric super charger from eBay. And 3) Judging by how cheap it is, that should be a big red flag letting you know that it's not going to work. Regardless if it's on eBay or not, something that cheap will not improve your cars performance, you get what you pay for.

Re: Supercharger question

im an electronics technician, so maybe i can help you people out. hehe. NO EBAY! dont trust a site where you can buy a sandwich and a supercharger at the same price. anyways. The theory of an electric super charger is possible, however getting the power from that small alternator and battery is merely impossible to drive a large enough blower motor to serve as the supercharger itself. so pretty much, myth busted!
