Default Worth looking into?

Came across this:

eBay.co.uk: Electric Supercharger Turbo Subaru Impreza WRX STI (item 190079074208 end time 12-Feb-07 21:44:42 GMT)

thoughts please!

Anyone? Just have a feeling it will **** something up, i.e the ECU?

what a waste of time imo absolutely no proof it increase power.
Love some of the comments especially the 1.2 corsa 'PHAT'.

If you want more power remappable ecu (plus associated mods it may be more expensive but its better than fiiting that pos imo) or an esl chip as you've got a 94 wrx i believe

They advertise these for al makes of car, looks like a waste of time. cannot see how it will improve things

17+BHP more on an m3
assuming the M3 makes 300BHP as a percentage increase it is around 5% and would 17BHP notice on a 300BHP car - i doubt it.

And that Picture has never been photo shopped Honest

What a load of tripe, Did that Dump valve fall onto the Silicon hose just as the Picture was taken
Where exactly will it dump air from Is the fan so powerful that it pressurises the whole of the intake pipe & the air filter is equipped with a one way valve to stop the pressurised air from escaping !!!
