1 PSI Super Charger System by RAM Performance Parts
Basically amounts to another electric "supercharger". I'm skeptical of it but it does look more professional than the junk you see on ebay. A friend of mine found it and is hoping to use it on his Boxster, does anyone think this thing could possibly be worth the money? At the top of the page it advertises up to a 30 HP gain but down in the Q&A section it estimates from 5-15.

1 psi = waste of money! I have an exhaust fan in my bathroom that moves more air!
