    Have you seen these? Look just like a supercharger put on your normal open air filter?!?! I know it wouldn't be like a propper supercharger but could it make any difference attal?

    Also have you seen the open cone filters with the prepellers in to make the air vortex and travel faster into the engine?!?!

    I'm not saying they work so don't start. . . Just wondered if they possibly could do anything attal?

    Cheers

    Try the search on this forum. There are many many many threads about how useless these things are. I once worked it out giving on the flow they game in one add and proved it was imposible to make the power they said. Dont know any one who has made power by fitting one.

    I know someone who fitted an electric "supercharger" to there car... felt no difference at all.. others say they do.

    Personaly is b*****ks IMO.
    Just puts more strain on your alternator making it and the engine work harder
