XXX Electric Supercharger

Are electric superchargers good and worth the money?

They seem legit and worthwhile but I want an outside opinion from sellers, I want it from enthusiasts and people who own them

I found one on eBay:

Haha this product makes me laugh...it's not gonna work. a boost system is more complicated than that...and this is basically a fan blowing into the intake, not pressure what so ever.

Just realize that a real supercharger is at least $1000+ for even a used one vs. your $50 electric one and don't forget install and tune etc..

Money is no issue here, Unfortunately I have an 05, and the link you had only has them for 03 models. Kinda sucks,

Thanks though, atleast now I know a REAL supercharger. No wonder why I could only find electric ones when I typed "05 Corolla Supercharger" in google.

Thanks

ah I see...yeah not sure if they can fit 05 models. Have you thought about turboing the car instead?

Since this question pops up every few weeks, I'm stickying this thread to make it easier for people to realize that these things are POS scams.

For anyone considering these things, they are a complete waste of time and money.

Don't buy one.
