Modified Mag (march 2005) has a great article about superchargers... They talk about electronic superchargers as well and say they have yet to find one that increased HP... in fact, they actually reduce it. It's a scam. Save your money, do your research, and buy quality parts.

I'd be afraid of any place that gives install instructions like this.
Did the site owner's 5 year-old create this?
This is my favorite customer review on their site:
Gee, you think the gains might be from the eManage alone? Maybe.

"I'm using 2 E-erams on my 1.6 vvti Corolla . Without tuning the power gains were almost non existent but after tuning with Greddy EMANAGE its like a mini turbo . Great Product."

I can't believe that they actually sell these!!! The instructions are great too
114 Amps???!!!!!!! Hmmm so it is going to fry your alternator over time... and the amount of extra drag from that current draw is most likely going to offset the 1/100th of a horsepower you would gain
And I love that part about the eManage..... uhhhh ya think it may have been just do the adding that???
At least it is fun to laugh at

I heard of one from knight racing that worked like nos. I added one battery charger to the belt driven system and the blower ran off the system specific battery pack for fifteen second bursts.(read dragracing use only) never saw it personally I'll try to find the link for them.
