just looking at the "supercharge your BMW" advert at the top of the home page. surely thats too good to be true?????????  for a start it's not a supercharger and secondly it must do some dodgy things to your engine? anyone bought one of these? any thoughts? __________________

Easier to buy a bilge blower for a boat. cheaper too.
Snake oil.
Unless it has a 10HP motor driving it its going to be minor improvement at best.

My dad'a friend bought one of those for his wive's 325i to see if it worked and he is now a believer in it. He said it's not 20+ horses, but he says it is quicker off the line and the fuel efficiency increased slightly. He told me I should try it out, but haven't bothered to yet. | | | | | 10-25-2005, 03:58 AM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

No actually he has been in the auto industry since his 20's and worked for BMW for 10 years. He is the one that gets me hella discounts on parts. It's quite nice  | | | | |
