Supercharger?

Okay, when u first come to the site, u see a whole bunch of ads/websites. One of them is www.turbonator.com, which they sell superchargers for our cars for 70 bucks. Question is, is it:
1). worth it?
2). reliable?
3.) and is it true?
thnx

1. yes
2. my butt dyno says so
3. yes cuz there's an ad for it


















hehe j/k no any supercharger that goes for 70 dollars or turbochargers is NOT real. How would I know? because my car is supercharged and it costs a LOT more than 70 dollars. But it does make the cool weezing sound for 70 bucks....i think

it's a gimmick. one thing they claim is that it will give you 255 CFM on the intake. your car already makes that and a little more stock at WOT.

If a supercharger doesn't cost thousands, then it ain't the real deal or from a reputable brand
