that is so lame because the way a supercharger works is to take your motors power and spin the blades and compress air in to your motor this so called supercharged if it even spins in that thing is still naturally aspirated. if anything those blades in it are limiting the air flow. also there is no way an electric motor with plastic blades are going to be able to spin fast enough to your full throttle motor because that is what it says the only time it comes on.... just my .02 but i dont wanna see anyone hurt their motor with this

There is alot of hearsay about those electric superchargers from alot of people who have never ACTUALLY tested one for themselves. I personally would spend the $239 to get the stage 2 simply to see if they actually do improve power. For as much as people think they do NOT do, there sure are alot of companies making them for a wide variety of vehicles.

I think that if you want to try it, go for it. If you end up wasting a couple hundred dollars due to it not working, at least if a conversation like this comes up again you will be only one out of dozens of people who will inevitably chime in- that accurately can tell why or why not to get it.

my neighbor tried this and i saw and was with him through it all. He got the "twin turbo" set up. he had a 02 dodge v6. once installed he took it for the run and fliped the switch 3 times. The first 2 it did nothing. It reminded me of throttle body spacers that do absolutely nothing for it. The third time however, he fliped the switch and bam, the blades broke off and pieces went into the engin. He had to go to buy a new engin afterwards.

looks great everyone should buy one.hahahahahahahaha
seriously your best bet is to free up engine hp,electric fans up to 17hp,over/underdrive pulleys 10-15hp,aftermarket programmer up to 30 hp,etc
at least these mods will give you better fuel mileage when u drive it normally.
