Hey, so my firend has a 99 eclipse gs...he just bought one of those E-Ram superchargers...the kind that run inline w/ the intake......the suprising thing is...it actually made the car noticeably quicker on acceleration...i just wanted to know if anyone knew much about these things...cause it sounds like a waste of $ 2 me.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is.
I haven't seen the "E-Ram" specifically, but even if it does work there's always a trade-off somewhere.

Not from me, not from me.

If you want a supercharger, buy a supercharger. Don't waste money on things like this. If it cost's $20, "adds perfomance" and has lots of moving parts, and you put if after your air filter, you < smart.
On that note, I know where you can get a good deal on a real supercharger http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115008

http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115008The electric supercharger is just a boat bilge pump. You can go look up the parts on any boat parts site and compare them to any electric supercharger being sold. They cost anywhere from $14 to around $50. They cannot push enough air to give any type of compressed air. The whole point to a supercharger is pushing compressed air into the engine. The pump just blows air like a fan. All they do is sell a bilge pump, some wires to put on a switch and cut some pvc to fit your car. Then some throw on a cheap filter that fits. There have been people that have said after using it for awhile, the fan inside the pump busted and threw pieces of plastic into the engine and I have never seen 1 person who could back up any horsepower gain.

E-Supercharger takes it's power from your ALTERNATOR and Electrical.

Haha, yeah and they STILL suck. With the thomas knight s***, you get a brief, 15 second boost of like 30 hp then you have to wait a half our or something for it to recharge, but the whole time it's charging, you're still lugging around half a ton of extra batteries.
