Default Electric Turbocharger (not e-RAM crap)

So there's a company that's been designing electric blowers for the hybrid cars. I think it said their "turbos" can push about 8psi. Funny, it's called VTES:

Actually Thomas Knight has patented a electric supercharger that is supposed to be legit. Knight is a pretty reputable guy that has been in the turbocharging scene for over 25 years. He did alot of turbocharger systems before he created his electric supercharger.

Ja, I've talked to thomas knight on miata.net. His system really does work but it's way more expensive than just putting a turbo on HMT style.

Electric forced induction.....just sucks.
It's expensive and it's only there for a few minutes and then you have to wait for somthing to recharge.....bleh.
And....don't even think about upgrades....cause after some time you will want more power and how or you going to upgrade with an electric POS. It's just a waiste of time and money IMO and it's less efficient than a turbo IMO...cause it doesn't use exhaust gasses(unused energie soarce).
