The thing can't push hard enough to make any noticeable difference whatsoever. The airflow restriction provided by the impeller will actually hurt performance more than help it.

Don't buy anything important off ebay unless you personally know the company it's from.

Even then, be careful.

That said, that should work out wonderfully for you.

As a doorstop, paperweight, or interesting conversation piece on your coffee table.

Don't put it in your car.

By the way, this thread will be locked soon. Don't take it personally, it's just that there have been about 5 of the same topic posted in the last couple of weeks.

I wouldn't buy it.

I don't think you'd want a piece to break off and get sucked into your throttle body.

I don't trust eBay "performance" parts that aren't made by a manufacturer I know or could look up.

i'm awake....i think the all of responses made it clear that an "electric supercharger" probably is not a good idea.

There's no reason to lock it just b/c the part might be retarded.
