Been look'n around and came upon this,http://www.tempestperformance.com/ , and wanted some insight on if anyone has heard anything about them or know anyone with it. I was thinking about getting it just for the hell of it to see what it really does for the car and gas.

Not recomended! These are just electric blower motors; for marine use I believe. Also made of plastic from the looks, I wouldn't want bits of plastic breaking off and going into my motor.

They don't do anything.

They will push a small amount of air with a minimal pressure, to get any useful boost would require an electric motor in the multi-kilowatt range, pushung at least a couple of p.s.i.

I was looking at it and they push 3psi and it is on a switch so that I can use it when I want.

If it worked, people would use it. Its been asked on many forums, for many cars. IT DOESN'T WORK.

It's been discussed many, many times:

And again: This is currently the only electric supercharger that is actually producing some extra power:
