Just hook up a couple old pc fans and a leaf blower, and your set.

There is really one electric supercharger kit that really would work. It can make like 10psi via a real Eaton blow assembly and three 400amp motors. However, you can only use it for about 20 seconds before you drain the batteries that are required for the 1200 amp current draw. At a cost of $1500 plus a quite complicated install, you'd be an idiot to buy it.

yes, the e-charger concept works, but this thing is just an electric fan blowing into your intake. I can't believe people actually bought this thing.

No, this is not really a fan. It's really an Eaton supercharger (compressor part) that is driven by some beefy electric motors instead of your engine. Basically the same as the Comptech supercharger except not driven by the motor.

The rest of the kits I've seen are axial fans that might make 1psi on a windy day going 100mph.
