: The idiot that came up with this thing is Mark Kibort, all you veterens of the UUC digest know this guy well. All you newbies might wonder why typing the word "kibort" will make your post bounce.

: This guy is a clueless putz, who thinks that spamming public lists for 6 months is good publicity.

: As for the "electric supercharger" itself, it's a joke. Go home, cut a hole in your airbox, and duct tape a hair dryer to it, you will get the same effect. That's literally what this thing is. It's an electric fan that hooks to your airbox, and runs off the alternator. I assume it's supposed to give a "Ram air" effect, but you have to figure that any negligible HP gain you might get is offset by the drain on the alternator.

: Oh, and it is a negligible HP gain. One guy on the list actually bought one for shits and giggles, hooked it up, dynoed it (e36 325is), and the results: A whopping .4 hp increase on the dyno, and that could probably be accounted for by atmospheric conditions. But hey, it is a guarenteed negligible HP gain.
