. Once inside of the intake plenum chargers compress air better than turbos. So more air, more power.

Charger draw backs are they use power off the crank, and sucking in air will never be as efficient as pushing it in.

This is why everyone uses single blades on chargers. The less resistance the charger has sucking air, the better. Pushing 25psi into a Twin blade with turbos is no problem, pulling in 25psi is.

How about bolting up one of these bad boys to the front of your charger? 330W electric supercharger FTW!

I've seen a few spacers for sale for $75ish so wondering if they are worth it. When everything gets dropped off to be ported I would have to send the spacer to get port matched as well.
Also getting the accufab port matched when he ports the plenum

lol if they could spin at 100k RPM they would work. Only reason turbos do is because of the pressure. PV=NRT

Supercharger only works because of how powerful it is, a plastic blade won't hold 15psi lol. I could see them helping maybe a couple HP at low throttle, I don't see them doing well when an engine is sucking in massive amounts of air.

Lol charlie should buy one and put it on with the charger.
