You'd probably be better off with a speaker mounted under your hood blaring turbo and supercharger sounds all the time

Haha it's powered by a 60w motor. If anything that will slow air down into your engine and you dont want to know what would happen if the thing breaks up and is ingested.

Interesting. I have often wondered if an electric supercharger were feasible and have not seen one before. I found this web site: http://www.performancechiptuning.com...PSI+Vortex/10/

The Youtube video looks kind of silly, but they claim over 5PSI of boost. It's only $200. Someone with some cash to burn ought to try one out and report back. Of course you could save a few bucks and try one of these...
