all "electronic blowers" are hoaxes and/or rice. And not just the regular Uncle Ben's rice, its that nasty cheap kind that sticks together like nobody's buisness wink

no seriously, it doesn't work. There has been ALOT of discussion on this topic.

Basically it boils down (no pun intended[rice]), to the fact that those electronic blowers CAN equal the CFM of a supercharger or turbo, BUT it doesn't have enough torque to hold the CFM under pressure, so the electronic superchargers can provide boost of something like 0.02 psi or something silly. But thats at WOT, and under normal driving conditions, it actually hinders your airflow and lowers power throught the powerband.

Save your money and invest in a nitrous kit, cheaper and more effective
