On the other hand...

Guys, guys. Don't bother with this cheap system. I have a better system coming out. Guaranteed 50hp to the wheels.
That will never get you 50 hp. That orange hose should not be looped over on itself like that. Shorten it and make it a straight run and you might have something.

No, no. You see, the loop creates an internal vortex causing the air to spiral hence making the flow faster like a turbonator 
I feel so stupid now. I get it. You've actually IMPROVED on the turbonator concept.

I hope I don't get shot for this...
But here is another electric solution that may have some merit.

Nope, no merit. Sorry. You would get more boost by farting in your intake than putting on one of these things.
Plus it's not an inline "fan", it uses a genuine compressor housing and appears to have an intake tract bypass that allows intake air to bypass the supercharger when not in use--getting rid of any restriction. Thoughts?
