There is a dude selling a QX4 / Pathfinder "super-charger" on E-bay for like $130.00.
It is essentially a small electric air pump, that forces air into the intake at Wide Open Throttle.
What do you think about this? If it only gives you 5-10 HP, it is cheap enough...
Input anyone?

Re: Supercharger / Air Injection (AirtekHVAC)
i bought one, it is total b.s. they are made more for carborated engines. its great in theroy by creating a vortex, however by the time it gets thru the throttle body and the injection manifold, then into the intake manifold and finally into the cylinders. it does absolutely nothing for regular gas engines.
if you are looking for a really cheap and easy power-up, take your entire air intake system from the throttle forward, and replace it with one from a similar car, if you can... shorter and a larger diameter. if you have a 2.5" tube change it to a dodge ram 4" for example. this modification(by math only) will give you 30 to 40% better hp/torque rates. i can not tell you exactly which to replace, but just go to a junk yard and search around, try different ones. make sure all sensors are reattached.
Good luck!
