Yeah electric superchargers with exception to the thomas knight setups are pretty much worthless. The one you found is like the polished turd amongst regular turds. I haven't read any real negative reviews on this unit. Is 3-5hp worth making your car sound like a vacume cleaner? There is another unit, I forgot the name but thier from australia that has something similar to this unit but has a brushless motor that spins alot faster then the e-ram. I dont think these are worth anyones time, maybe one day when technolgy advances in this area.

I would still look towards the flux capacitor idea... Stick one in the dash, sync it with an iPhone, cruise to 88mph...

Oh yeah, time travel...
