Yeah i was bored and surfing ebay and i came across a link to electric superchargers. They run on 12volts straight from your battery so no strain on your alternator and claim to push quite a bit of air, so i considered it but then i read on other forums on here that our minis prefer a pull through not a push so that kind of rules these out. But i guess for other cars they might work. I found some forums with quite heated debates as to whether these things are a scam or actually work. Interesting though and i found you could plans on ebay to make your own, quite cheap aswell.

Heres the link

Have a good day

Or you could go this one: http://www.turbonator.com/

USD$69.95 for an instant increase in power... looks like something made in a Year 9 metalwork class.....

To believe in these, you would believe in perpetual motion, and the easter bunny, too...

All BS... :lol:
