e-RAM supercharger kit on Scoob, good or bad idea?
Has anyone here tried fitting one of these e-RAM superchargers on a scooby? If so, how do they perform? I stumbled across the web site for them here, http://www.electricsupercharger.com/ surely they wouldn't be to hard to make yourself, at the prices they sell for (£600+) it might be a good idea.

It's an electric fan that sits in your intake.......you'd be better off saving your money and connecting a garden hose from your intake through to the cabin and blowing into this when you want to go faster.
Besides, your car should have a real one of these....a turbo.....which should negate any need to have a plastic fan puffing wind into your engine. You'd probably lose more power from the drain caused by running it than you would gain.

i seen something similar to this a few years back, i cant remember if it was electric or not. (pretty sure it wasn't) anyway if it does give a 1psi increase then it should increase power.
every tubo car i have had i have found that 1psi = 7-10 bhp.
still - wouldnt fancy that thing going in bits and straight into my turbo.... or engine for that matter.

I seen a video of a CTR on the rollers, made its 200hp, then they stuck an ordinary leaf blower on the intake and made another 10-15hp, I don't remember exact hp, but it worked
