Default electric superchargers......

hey just a question, has anyone had experience with electric superchargers? does anyone actually buy these things? what are their practical application? does these fall into the same bracket as those turbo noise simulators that attaches to the muffler?

Not to sound like a dick, but you're probably going to get way flamed for this post. Electric superchargers were a big joke about 2 years ago, so everytime somebody pops a thread up on them, it becomes a flame fest.

They're totally a scam and have no practical application.

Yeah, they're along the same lines as the tornado intake things. Just a scam to make money. I guess an electric supercharger might push enough air to get a few more ponies out of your lawnmower, but nothing worthwhile on an actual engine.
