Im going to put the flame retardant suit on now

but i want to ask if anyone has ever caved in and bought one of those electric supercharger gadgets off ebay and if they do anything

cause in theory i think it would work to some extent  
but im not sure

as i wait for my replacement fender to arrive so i can fix my car, i have accepted its current ghettoness and decided to make plans to attach a shop-vac engine to the intake tract and switch it on at WOT and see if anything happens

i wonder if the factory computer will know what to do

someone, please convince me not to do this

No flame retardant suit can save you!

I hear that the amount of air produced/power gained is negligable…and I don’t think it would last too long either.

This should answer your questions…
