Wow, now don't all you Radix and other supercharger owners feel stupid for paying thousands of dollars, when you could have gotten this unit for so much less?

You notice how small that air filter was? I couldn't tell wtf was up with the intake tube. Looked like it was cut off the baffle and hooked up to it.

Geez, those things are still around. It says it can deliver up to 5psi!!! That's on hell of an electric motor. An evap cooler motor and squirrel cage blower couldn't even do that. And those things are 1/3hp and HUGE! Granted the squirrel cage blower is inefficient, but for that thing to work, it would work your alternator so hard it wouldn't be worth it.

It probably builds 5psi with the engine off!

"thats like adding 4-5 extra throttle bodies to your engine". Hmm so adding my radix must have added 400 throttle bodies.

p.s. a leaf blower cost less and will give better results

Engine looks like a 99. Some of the older ones looked like that. They are asking $125 for that thing now. I guess the price per oz. for crap has gone up.

hmm, if you put 5 on does that add 25 throttle bodies? More throttle bodies must be good. Send me pics when you get the 5 installed.
