The research out there suggests it won't work. Its a **** ant electric motor which won't be capable of producing the RPMs needed to generate boost. The way I understand it, it would also decrease power by getting in the way of proper air flow.....

I don't think they're not claiming it will increase power (trying to remember when I read it yesterday), however they do suggest it increases torque at low rpms from a standing start. From what they said I believe they are saying it's a good way to increase fuel economy in traffic conditions.

That said, I'll believe it when I see it ...

... azza, why don't you buy it?
