"This is by far the best supercharger on the market for your money, as well as the safest, most reliable, and durable".

Atcually racking the brains, the seat marbella (fiat panda) 1000cc special had a Bosch fan attached to the end of the air intake. But thats as close as I can recolect.

LoL!

Brilliant!

Sounds like a feasible theory, but pretty sure your altenator would be taking strain to power the "super charger" the whole time.... plus the problem of cheap quality components flying into your engine.... I'll leave a few other people to try it first.... or get a nice little project car to try it on ;)

Seems like a sound idea. As for bits flying into the engine how is this really any different from a normall supercharger.

It does say that the battery draw is low so the altenator might not have to work super crazy and the fact that it is not on all the time shouldn't effect battery levels.

Someone buy it and see if it works. Could be laugh.
