I have seen a few on small import motors.......... a buddy of mine a few years back installed on on his 5.0. when he would rev the motor it would actually pull more air through the electric turbo than it could produce on its own........

That elec supercharger isn't powerful enough to even pull a lawnmower engine out of vacuum.

I used to mow my lawn on low boost and none of the bigger riding mowers wanted any. They know what's up.

To make 10 PSI with 1400 cfm would take about 40 AMPs. Being that we only run 12 volts it would take about 400 Amps. Not gunna happen.
