Has anyone actually tried an electric supercharger...?

[Axxe]

Both Superchargers and Turbos have there place regardless of efficiency.

Superchargers = More Power off the line but less top end.

Turbos = Harder to get power off the line but plenty of power to pull on the top end.

Not really. A centrifrugal supercharger has the same defects as a turbocharger, except that a turbo makes more power as the load on the engine is increased, which is the reason why turbo cars make more power in higher gears.

Turbo just sounds cooler. It sounds like something is grinding with a roots supercharger.

That has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

Besides that, it isn't bolted on! But it certainly proves the point. More power can be made with a leaf blower.

How long until we see one of these idjits roling around town with a leaf blower duct-taped to his roof adn a snorkel running to his intake...
