Default Electric Superchargers / Turbochargers?

30-45hp for $100 is what they all claim to do. Has anyone ever installed one? I know the gains can't be that great from adding a fan to your intake, but theoretically it should be a decent gain for the price.

They are a waste of time! Dont waste your money on it, go get a cold air intake and it will do just the same just without having to wire anything up. My boy's little brother put one on his ranger....did nothing at all.

someone with ready access to a dyno maybe...
the claimed hp is obviousely bogus, but it would be interestin to see if there were any gains at all, or if the incoming air overpowered the poor little fan.
