electric supercharger
Just a question, does anyone know if electric superchargers really work? I found this one http://www.electricsupercharger.net/product.php and the website claims up to 8psi of boost. But I dont know much about em, and I'm a little skeptical about buying a supercharger that only cost $100.

Yeah, most of the time when I hit a link to an electric sc, i just keep going, but I've never come across one that claims that high of boost, so I was curious.
