I highly doubt it. It almost looks like a hair dryer with a K&N.

Yea you might get 1 psi of boost but, that wont feel like anything.

That'll work about like duct taping a leaf blower to your intake.

yea it wasnt on SL but someone posted a link to it
it was argued that at low rpm it works but at the higher end the fan will restrict airflow
