That's the single most expensive piece of plastic I've ever seen. Thin plastic at that. Does it work? Theoretically, yes. In a practical situation? I can't imagine it would. 150CFM is pretty impressive, but the airflow into the IM is already pretty substantial ... real superchargers and turbos shove way more air in than this computer fan ever could.

Save your money.

Yup, its bullsh*t...if your looking for something like that, take a look at the E-Ram. I know someone who has it and swears by it, but it's only made to push max 1psi at WOT. Personnaly I'd stay away from those, but if I had to choose it would definatly be an E-Ram

has anybody ever tried it or are we just making ASSumptions???

im not sure why such a "rare" item doesnt have a price tag cuz most people dont know how much to expect.

again, maybe it works? where are we getting our facts from?

Nope, it's been proven mathematically...that delivers 150cfm (thats just a claim, I doubt its even that high) and engines usually create a vaccum of about I think it was around 600ish cfm, maybe more... So, in theory it helps but in real life, your not gonna feel a damn thing. That ebay auction is just a boating venting blower which go for about $30-$40 bucks, so if you want one just buy it from a boating magazine/store.
