Electric Supercharger????????

This outfit popped up as an ad here on the forum. Anyone have any info?
Their website is kinda vague. Seems like tuning would be an issue, or one of many.

In my opinion, forget it. No way can it make enough boost to do much of anything. And do you want to add a load on the alternator?

One of the magazines took 2 gas powered leaf blowers and mounted on a Corvette. It did make a little difference. One leave blower did almost nothing. The website says for 5.0 litre motors or less.

Even a fairly small supercharger is going to take WAY more power to turn than an alternator can create.

Total C-R-A-P, you can tell by the way the specs and descriptions are written. No hp boost is implied or stated and is definitely from Asia. Would be good on a Kia or 'yota ...
