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?
Just read the thread all your answers are there.. it's not your typical ebay fancharger...
