Why don't you try it out and let us know how it went. I bet it will work even better than they say it will.

 

I just dont know how the max will handle an extra 500cfm without ecu changes

 

That made me LOL @ work.

 

lol don't waste your money on ebay ones, it's garbage. Those are proven not to work. I believe the only real working electrical supercharger system is made by Thomas Knight, those actually use modified centrifugal blowers with a trio of electrical motors. That system eats gobs of electricity, and requires multiple car batteries to have an acceptable system.

 

Combine that with the Jet ECU mods and u have a helluva powerful Max.....

 

exactly.............................

 

Well, check this out. Hybrids are elective s/cs. You get instant torque on demand. What tuners have to do is figure out how to get more voltage out the hybrid batteries, thus giving more power....

 

That thing is a toy. It looks a lot like the bilge blower on my boat or a defroster blower on a truck...

I have seen one electric supercharger that looks legit. It has three motors on it and requires two fully charged batteries deep cycle batteries to run it for about 30/45 seconds. IIRC about $1600.

EDIT: I didn't see Viscous post #5. I think that's the one. I suspect it works as advertised.

 

sounds like bs to me...why don't ya try strappin a leap blower on as a supercharger?
