Almost certainly not.

There's a reason why turbo chargers need to spin at 200000rpm, and why supercharger consume tens if not hundreds of horsepower and that is that it's not as easy as going to B&Q to increase the power output of an engine!

Love the way they justify the presence of the wall mounting feet on the thing!

Those and the awesome "resistor chips" they seem to love.

Does make me laugh hearing boy-racer types going on in quite matter of fact terms about how their pathetic mods enabled them to beat a Carerra4!

However, nothing compares to the joy or absolutely destroying them off the lights in a 20 year old rusty brown beemer :)

Electric superchargers are a load of toss. If anything they impede the flow of air, probably causing a LOSS of power. There is a burberry boy who goes to my local cruise who has a Paxo VTR with a resistor chip, electric supercharger and twin 5" rage back boxes and it is apparently "THE FASTEST SAXO IN THE WORLD"

:lol: I love stories like that.

What really amases me is that they can always come up with some excuse as to why some actually good car beat them.

what gets me is that its obvious that the blades will take up valuable volume for the air to travel through the pipe,,,,,

mind you, if you can afford to spend Ԛ£20k on a nova.....
