Yeah, there has been some discussion already, I think. I know there has been talk of an electric supercharger, anyway, and this fits the bill. General consensus was that it's a joke. According to people who know alot more than me, the boost is miniscule and the RPMs of the fan could actually hamper the air intake at higher engine RPMs. There was also a chance of the engine "ingesting" a fan blade if something broke. Somebody said it's the equivalent of attaching a hair dryer to your intake. Kinda' looks that way, doesn't it?

Ram air only works at very high speed, so unless this thing can blow 120mph it is probably useless. It would go well with the fake supercharger sticking out of the hood and the turbo whistle muffler.

It's not an electronic supercharger. An electronic supercharger gives a boost of electricity. This item is pointless, might as well weld a leaf-blower under your hood and stick some playing cards in your rims to make clicking noises.
