It actually looks like one. It probably isnt bs to a point. it looks like a small plastic turbine that is combined with a motor and a intake. the motor drives the turbine the sucks the air through the filter. Technicly u could call it a superchager but does it actually work. i checked his feedback and there where 3 ppl who said the product was bs and didnt give any hp gains.

2.1 psi? It's probably one of Hymee's PC fans.

You probably already have one of these in your car. It's called a "heater motor".
Or in your boat as a "builge blower".

Do you think this would fit under our hood? Worth maybe a gazillion hp?
