Re: Electric Super Charger. IS IT worth the money?

[pm <pm@onramp.net>]

Don't do it! PVW magazine and The Golf ran ads for one of these sold
under a different name in Europe. One of the magazines dyno tested it
and it showed a 1-2 hp advantage near redline I believe. It wasn't
enough of a difference to really tell if it had any effect. I'll see if
I can find the article at home, but the magazine refuses to run ads for
them anymore b/c it can't endorse the product.
