Electric supercharger

[JirkaES]

Does anyone have experiences with this air-intake component? Thanks

If this is the small fan that sits in the intake of a normally aspirated car, sold on ebay cheaply, then the general consensus is that it's Bollox.

But for a more concise and considered opinion, a few more product details are required.

Absolutely, totally non effective method for producing boost.
Consider the power requirements for a turbo (shaft horsepower) to actually produce just 1psi of boost.
An electric fan gently blowing a light pressure (and virtually no volume) is not going to create power as it will never keep up with the engines requirements for consuming air.

Save your money for a proper turbo or supercharger conversion, these electric "turbos" couldnt give you a decent blowjob.....

Just route the intake to the turbo to the front of the car via an insulated induction pipe and remote air filter- that fan wafting air about the bay wont do anything positive especially when the cars in forward motion- the air pressures and vectors created by the car moving will easily disrupt/destroy any "effect" it may have while stationary, which is why you dont see them fitted to a proper race car.
Save your pennies.
