Just found this on ebay and wondered if they would actually work.

Complete waste of money but that said i do believe they would increase pressure in the intake stream but probably not enough to get real gains from.

Some VW Vans have electronic Turbochargers, they work when required for hills or heavy loads, the VW blowers actually compress the air, same turbine compressor wheel design as a turbocharger, This Gizmo doesnt look like it would compress the air too well with 3" openings, I would be wary, Regards Frank.

Could make a good heater fan... fresh air intake... about all its good for.... I can't help but wonder how many amps it draws, and if you get the power back. Is that extra grut being absorbed by the altinator?. You can't get something for nothing.
