Got my doubts about this thing.
If I understand correctly :this thing costs roughly 1500$ in the States, and it's basically a few motorcycle batteries ductaped together that power a 24V fan.
If your engine runs lean because of this and/or your engine goes in detonation ...
A true supercharger or compressor requires several kW of input power (coming from exhaust gases or from the crankshaft or from whatever), cooling capacity increases, intercooling of a kind, compression ratio reduction or water misting into the intake for detonation control, etc etc . Hence you're looking at kits of 5k€ and more (as often you also need to change exhaust system from front to back, and some dyno tuning, ...)
And this simple 24V fan makes you gain 20% on top of the 200 stock HP ?
Anybody out here has one of those things fitted to his/her car already?
