Hi,
I am really new to all of this and I was just wondering what anyone thinks of these "electric supercharger" induction kits...

I have a 2000 Corsa 1.2 16v SXI and I don't want to break it so your help would be much appreciated.

ad-sport got it right, its a gimmick, in theory it does work, but the amount of power needed for it to wok is WAY over what a computer fan can provide.

the theory does work, we put a massive 3 phase fan ontop of a 1.3 nova and gained about 3bhp in doing so lol. All that will do is restrict air flow at high rpm or anything more than tick over.
