Judging by the summary using words like: alien, Folks, flash of light and wow.... I'm guessing it's an expesive set of wires and plastic in a box you could place on the mantle piece.

I like where they say "....Factually in fact, with the Mitsubishi FTO supercharger your horsepower will be like a bubble bath.." - making bubbles in your bath would probably be a better use for it alright.

I reckon you would get a much better increase in power by plugging a hairdryer (on cold) into your air filter - hey presto - a much more efficent supercharger. :lol: I have one for sale for the fantastic price of 179.99Euro if you are interested? :P

The same kit does for a Lambo Gallardo, amongst others. If only I had a €100,000 car, then I could buy that amazing bit of technology and stick it on it. I'm sure its amazing! It even looks fantastic with that black plastic cover.

I'd be scared if my bubble bath increased in strenght and vigor!

there used to be a load of crowds doing "electric super chargers" they were all pretty much sh1t as it is essentially a con.. I love the way this crowd give you the option to bundle your useless tat with more useless tat.

tat-tastic!

Anyways.. you'd be as well off with an old bilge-pump, a lenght of wavin and some silver tape from your local providers.
