Thumbs down Electric Supercharger??

Was looking through ebay and happened to stumble upon an electric supercharger system.
Says it offers a little over 2 lbs of boost and it will work directly off of your 12v charging system. Sounds to me.
They may be able to sell me one if I've been drinking a lot of hard liquor. Being it is sold for about 140.00.
I seen it and couldn't believe it.
Had to post on this one.

I've seen those before too...they look like computer case fans. Seems to me too.

I too have heard of these. What a joke . Also the MASSIVE draw on the electrical system is not good.

Guess it would be cool to have if you go to the lake a lot.
You could also use it to blow up your water toys and tubes pretty fast!! Maybe the old lady could use it to dry her hair too!

You'll just need a real long extension cord.No problem a 110V power source should get you plenty of boost.

You would be better off with a power inverter and leaf blower for that money.

O, wait that's a good idea. How do you register on ebay again?
