Not saying this one will but, a GOOD setup properly done, would show excelent gains without adding any stress on the system, like a normal supercharger does. But it will ad weight, because you will have a hefty setup in the trunk.

yeah, this one probably wont do much for you. Its hard to tell tho.

The professionaly ones people run, are netting the same as a turbo or normal supercharger.
The only difference between this supercharger and one driven by a belt, is how the blower is spun to compress the air.

The basic principal is all the same. You have a pump/blower/compressor that spins and FORCES large volumes of air through a smaller outlet than opening. This compresses the air. On the TRD supercharger, the blower spins by a rotating shaft.
On an electric supercharger, the blower spins by an electric motor. So the larger the motor and faster the blower can spin, the more psi and power you will see.

The one pictures, yes.
But ones that are actually productive, usually have a battery system in the trunk. Let me find some pics to show.

Here ya go, takes up some room. You can see the blower in the lower right. its alot bigger than the one ebay uses. And then batteries in the trunk.


Its all litterally INSTANT power. Press the switch and it turns on.

If I had access to a free dyno, I would get the ebay one and dyno it just to see numbers a/f numbers.
