Hey, I found these on Ebay, has anyone used any of these? do they do anything?

I don't want to go full Turbo, but I have done some intake mods, and if these work as advertised, $25 is not bad (somehow I'm skeptical though).

For $25? Save your time and money. I guarantee the bearings will wear out in 10 minutes. But it may make a cool noise for those 10 minutes.
All its going to do restrict air flow.

I like the how under the TURBO TECHNOLOGY picture, the tach and speedometer are both are 0, haha

Just another generic ebay item that won't do much of anything for you, even if it worked, they're usually of super cheap construction as the previous poster pointed out..

Exactly. Super cheap, and not worth the cash. The won't push enough air to undo the fact that they restrict the intake. Search youtube for electric supercharger videos. there's some good testing videos. That being said...

Thanks all, I tried to search for info on these but couldn't find anything... maybe I just suck at searching. It seems like these would not work, but I just wanted to check.
