These things aint gunna work, as a turbo/supercharger compressors air into the engine at a very high rate to produce good results!!
Waste of money!!

In a word, NO.
If it were as easy as that no-one would spend £5k+ on engine conersions.
Just looks like a glorified induction kit.

A small plastic fan spining at 40Ks is never going to produce any thing like the positive induction pressure that a the metal blades of a proper super charger spinning at 150ks is going to.

I reckon this, coupled with one of those 50p resistor "wonder chips" and you'd easily have a GTI kicking out well over 400bhp. Add in a fake dump valve and you'll be eating 1000bhp Skylines for breakfast.

Always wondered if a proper supercharger conversion would be possible. Anyone know, or know of any examples

Anything is possible with enough money mate. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend
There is someone on the forums with a turbo charged one
