Yes. In one word, No. (You got this much out of me becuase a post has to be more than 10 characters I think.)

The seller doesn't seem to be able to decide if it's a supercharger or a turbo; doesn't matter really, 'cause these things are a waste of money. They can't create enough airflow, but they sure add restriction.

BTW, eBay links don't work on this site; next time, post just the item #.

back in the early '80s and late 70's I know FIAT used an electric turbo, but it was a real powerful motor that spun an actual turbo impeller, not some squirl cage fan. I think they actually created about 4-6 Lb of boost on the little 1.2 liter motors they were mounted on.

for a larger motor you would need a REALLY BIG motor that would end up putting more drag on your engine due to needing another, much larger alternator, or generator to power it.

that one would do nothing but get sucked into your motor and break something.
