electric Supercharger results

OK OK..I haulted the procedure on the rx8 and i decided to use it on my 99 civic si..I did this because with the help of some on the forum, i was informed that it might damage the car..so instead I had it put on my civic.. The car is at the shop still but i was able to test drive it..and ya know what its not the supercharger advertised on ebay.. I did feel a difference though on the civic my top end had more kick and felt like it wanted to go faster than i was allowed.. I was skeptical and i will get results from the shop later but here were the first impressions ...


ps..unlike the electric supercharger the velocity of the air goes accordingly with the throtle..there are three units to the device from what i saw..the tube wasnt a standard intake tube. it was shaped different shaped depending where it was.. also there was a ram / cold air extension that on the 8 would be placed in front of the radiater.. there is also a little box they called the brain which communicates the throttle to the velocity tube itself..the idea seems good and it did feel much different driving it..but i will see actual results when i get the car back
