Default Electric Supercharger??

I am searching on Ebay and i came across an Electric Supercharger for $350.00. It claims to produce 15-30 horsepower and installs right behind your air filter on a CAI. It is operated by a 12v battery and uses 2.2 amps. does this sound legit?

Sounds new to me but I would get the make and model and check with the manufacture.

I looked at it on ebay. Looks like a air pump with a K&N air filter. A few of them looks like the toranado in a box with a K&N air filter.

I've heard that they can't keep up with you engine at WOT. They stay a constant speed is what I heard. I wouldn't pay to put it on my car. You get what you pay for.

Last time I was getting gas this civic pulled up to the pump beside me and he said he had 4 of them and was putting 1,000 hp to the wheels so they must work! Save your money for something real, those are for ricers.

Yeah, they tried using a leaf blower on a truck and got them 23 hp. But that leafblower is gas powered. A mini desk fan hooked up to a 12v isn't gunna do a thing...

They had one of these on Mythbusters, It was "Busted"
If you do the math, you can not make enough electric power to create any amount of usable boost.
