i tried searching, but i didnt find much on electric turbos, only real turbos .... well thanks for the info. im still new to the whole car business (im only 17), just trying to find the best bang for buck when it comes to performance mods.

Well, if you look at the thing, there apears to be three starter motors turning the compressor. I don't think your electrical system will be happy about trying to spin those things for very long.

Ha! I love this:Quote »Most other electric supercharge systems work on a 12 volt system, and just dont have enough power in the electric motor to create the same static pressure this motor does. The power of this 110 volt motor is far more than that of any 12 volt system, and will create more static pressure. [/quote]Power is power=Volts X Amps. An inverter merely sacrifices the amps to make more volts. You actually will waste some power in wire resistance in the inverter. That "supercharger" is just a high cfm attic blower (hence the 110) with a cone filter stuck on it. Try Grainger or McMasterCarr (.com), I'm sure youll find the same thing much cheaper.

Thats pretty effing funny. Seriously, it gets funnier every time someone puts one of those for sale. Then I think about the idiot that buys it and I laugh even more.
