I know the topic of Electric turbos has been raised (or maybe it was on another forum-not sure) but this came up in the GT4 list.

electric supercharger kit

This is supposed to be really working. I would like some more input from the knowledgable members of this list. Will this thing work as they say? Any volunteers?

Yeah, thats the thing people don't get....Its totally possible to make an electric supercharger work and provide hp gains, but with current technology its not feasible. Whats the point when its $2k, you can only use it for 15sec and you have to carry around 100lbs+ of batteries?????

Give it a decade or so and perhaps the battery and motor industries will have a few more capabilities but its still not going to be a full time, 100% duty cycle thing.
