intake supercharger?... if it's that electric supercharger you see on ebay.. NO.

As for the air bypass valve, that only applies if you have a cold air intake. It's pretty useful only in the rainy season. I used to use it when it rains bad down here and take it off once the dry season comes around

that supercharged intake or whatever you want to call it, draws its power from the battery and it also obstructs the air flow in the ram

if you want a true super cold intake look into the DEI CRYo2 intake kit

i think its a type-o .. they say 7hp increase, so they probably meant to type 132, not 122

either way, i dont believe it... i doubt they even actually dyno'ed these cars

Wow, that's not even the electric powered one. It looks like it just sits there and spins with the intake flow. I like the part about if your intake hose is bigger than the "supercharger", use the spacer to make it fit. So basically, you're putting a piece of plastic in the airflow and you're reducing the size of you piping.

Can you say SCAM....

Think on this. If the manufactures could safely add $80 to the cost of a car to significantly increase the Power AND mileage. Don't you think they would.

a magazine did a review of those type of devices a few years ago ......... and I'm pretty sure they ended up saying that they're useless.
