Electric aftermarket supercharger?
Just wondering if anyone has installed one of the electric aftermarket "supercharger" kits. I can see where it may force more air but will it really improve the performance? It works only when flooring the car either my a module at the throttle body or on the gas pedal.

If you are talking about one of those "fan" deals, it is impossible for such a fan to increase actual "pressure" in a system. Just like the "chips" it is just a worthless piece of junk on our Jags.

Of course, I do know that there are some vehicles on which a legitimate chip can cause significant improvement in performance.

Chuckle. It's the 'butt dyno' at work again: people do work on the car, so of course it feels to them that the car is running better, with added performance.
FleaBay is full of adverts for gizmos that will improve performance 'by up to 20hp'. If the widgets were really that good for that little money, the manufacturers would have added them as standard items by now. So much 'snake oil' for the unwary.
In practice, folks will get better performance from an oil change, a new set of spark plugs and leads, cleaning up the ground points, etc. Even cleaning off the grime from the bodywork can improve the aerodynamic flow. By up to 20hp.
Best wishes, Colin
