Yeah there have been a few posts on them but anyone who has every bought them all agreed it was a waste of time and money. I emailed one company about them once because they were claiming numbers and they said they had no dyno sheets proving them.

Stay away.

I would imagine that it would actually do more harm than good. I would be leary if it even made any increase in HP. First of all, if you think of how an air filter feeds the air in, it's symmetrical where as that computer cooling fan...lol...would cause lots of turbulence that would actually hinder performance.

They rely on the same trick as the people who make those throttlebody spacers who claim hp increases. It's nothing but a marketing ploy to lure people who just don't know any better. This type of stuff should be illegal. It's called false advertisement. i would be willing to sign the deed to my house over to that company if that electric fan provided even 5rwhp gain.

There are several flaws with that design. The fact that it provides the same flow of air at idle or full throttle is a clear sign of scam. Centrifugal superhcargers or ANY REAL supercharger for that matter runs off the belt/pulley so when the engine spins faster, more air gets fed in. Not the case with this thing. That's what it is, a thing because i don't know what to cactually call it. I could go on and on and on....
