Eturbo
So has anyone tried, and successfully used an e-turbo with proven gains. im guessing not, but i tried it, and got no noticeable gains expect right off the line cause it helps air in quick from the cai. i just dont know if its blocking air flow after a few thousand RPMS or not.

Theoretically an e-supercharger is possible but mathematically it is not feasible at 12 volts. Thomas Knight makes a "real" electric supercharger but it's nearly $2000 and runs off of an 8hp electric motor.
I would remove the electric turbo deal honestly. It's about 98% likely that it's causing a restriction at full throttle.

Not only what 187 said, but you also run the risk of one of the plastic propellers on the E-charger breaking off and getting caught somewhere in your throttle body or worst yet....your intake manifold.
yeah i took it out but i agree. cheap parts are no good. although i did see an add for a turbonator in some tuner magazine. its like 100 bucks. wont ever waste money like that again.
