Turbos are not free power, as some will claim. A turbo is a turbine-driven supercharger and to drive something requires horsepower. The turbine needs velocity, volume, heat and pressure to operate.
IMO A Turbo is Free Power, Where as a Supercharger (Belt driven is not)

If i want to go fast i put underglows on and put a bunch of fireball stickers on the doors, that gives me 500hp each. Then i put so many gauges inside that i cant find the radio. 25'* (chrome), body kit, aluminum spoiler wing, and 50gallons of NO2 ... and a hula lady

I just looked threw their forum, and not one mention, not a single one that I could find about a electric supercharger. how much you want to bet they pull all negative threads, and sorry to say that'* all of them. I also looked at the dyno runs. Yep, there was a HP increase, as you would expect when your forcing air in to a engine. However, it'* not taking in to account the increase in weight. You would need to do some math to prove your at a gain. They wont show that math because that math will prove your actually at a lose. And that will hurt sales. I'm tempted to register there and post to see what happens. Who'* with me?

I think those superchargers might be somewhat useful in a vehicle that produces a ton of electricity already. However when you put a supercharger on a prius it will still be slow, just faster at being slow.
