I remember about a year ago or so people were experimenting with leaf blowers and other stuff like that to see if it helped the engine spool up faster and to see if a "supercharger" could be fabricated.

Well check this out... http://www.electricsupercharger.com

Would any of them work on a TPI MAF setup? I personally wouldn't get one for $300 but would it work at all? Fuctionality?

That thing reminds me of that tornado thing that they sell. I personally dont think that there is any possible way to get enough power through that thing to give you 15hp.

We had a discussion about these things at my last club meeting. I personally haven't seen one, but one of the guys said that all they are are $40 boat exhaust fans. Don't waste your money. They won't produce any boost.

Its an artwood bilge blower for a boat. Its used to pump gasses out of the engine bilge. I have one in my boat.

They're trying to sell these all over ebay..

I imagine it might make your kids go-cart run a little better, but not your f-body..

Supercharging is not cheap..
