XXX Electric Supercharger

I looked at turbos and superchargers for my rolla.

I was looking at an Electric Supercharger and was wondering if it was worth it

I found this on eBay:

so supposidly they can work good at a low RPM but past 3 RPMs is going to slow the car down.

However it should work with a stand-alone source or power

so you wanna put a fan in your intake? something that will actually restrict airflow, and have the chance to break and get sucked into your engine? sounds good to me! (sarcasm, product is a scam and a terrible idea)

wow...much better off spending the money on a nitrous system...$450. Guarenteed HP that way...although people still think thats "cheating" for some reason....

That way you keep your good fuel economy when you need it and have the boost when you want it.
A 10lb bottle will give you several min on the spray....so for short spurts now and then you shouldnt need to refill often.

And fuel is not magnetic last I checked...

Thank you,,,exactly why I said no to that guy.

And I searched superchargers for my car, and only found electric ones.

Heres why,,,I own an 05 and they stopped making superchargers for corollas in 03.
