Whenever you need more power you simply flip the switch and fly away.

if it looks too good to be true, it is. Or just do a quick search and you will find many answers.

"A stock turbo from an Audi 1.8T produces 400CFM. Adding the electric supercharger will produce more then half of the power than a stock Audi 1.8T turbo would. There is need to do any modifications to your engine at all. 250CFM of forced air can also be compared to a 15-25 shot of Nitrous."

Interesting... But if it really did what it says, than why doesn't everyone have one???

The people that sell that crap have no shame.

If you could power it, this one might work.

ok i actually tested one of those, a buddy of mine had one and i connected it to a spare battery i had in the trunk, was when i upgraded to my optima, i connected it to the stocker...that thing blew about as hard as a blow dryer, not very impressive, we put it on my friends cav and even on idle the engine out flow'd the damn thing, we even tried connecting it to a optima, no diffrence made, that thing would be awesome...in the summer when your at a car show and wanna cool down...its fun...i took some video of it, but deleted it now, but man that thing is weak, the TB outflows the damn thing at idle :P he went for a test drive and that thign sucked *****, he said he felt it was choking

it flows 250CFM huh? take a guess at how many CFMs your engine flows without one of those....
