Don't bid on this loser's auctions!!! He's trying to sell Electric Turbos??!!!! To the unknowledgable masses. Now, I'm not a fan of the import crowd, but this is too far!!! Warn your friends who are obviously too niave to know not to bid.

Why don't you put an electric fan motor on your car and tell me what happens.
Wait!! I'll tell you.

There are electric "superchargers" on the market that report about a 1 psi boost. It's kind of like getting a ram air effect as soon as you hit WOT. (Ram air benefits don't usually kick in until you hit around 70 or 80 mph). The gains are modest compared to conventional turbos and supers, but the guys selling them are honest about what they are selling. BTW, this ain't it, and this guy's claims are outlandishly inflated. Avoid him. Here's the real deal: www.electricsupercharger.com Compare and decide for yourself.

I like how the loser is using a Private Auction to keep people from emailing the bidders

I like how he compared the CFM Ratings of a real supercharger and his electric fan. They looked comparable. But what he left out was the pressure that is developed at that CFM. 600 CFM at 1 inch of water pressure is a lot lower then 650 CFMat 12 PSI.
For those who dont know, there are are 0.036 PSI per inch of water column. AT best, that fan might put out 3 inches of water (I.E. 3 x 0.036 = 0.108 PSI).
No performance gain there!!!

Never bid in a private auction. Simple enough.

That sucks. So from what I've read, all of the electric superchargers are pretty much useless.
Daydreaming:
What about a bunch in parallel with some sort of quick discharge battery, capacitor or something?
