Nope. These things never work. They just create a block in your air intake and actually supply less air to the engine. Then the fans burn out or break off and go into your MAF.

One member actually had it catch on fire in his intake.

Look up "Mighty Car Mods" on YouTube. They did a nicely done test of that eBay SuperCharger and proved it's not worth a cent. They proved you actually see more change by spending LESS money on two Ryobi leaf blowers and straping those to the car for a dual leaf blower super charger.

The problem is those gimic items don't compress the incoming air like true super/turbo chargers. They just move it and they don't move enough of it to improve on what the engine naturally sucks in.
