you may theoretically get an increase in power (2bhp style) but also laughed at!

Hmm, why is it specifically aimed at Corsa drivers?

Get a 12 volt electric fan just like on the back of your pc, fit it in the air intake, after your air filter...voila...you have an electronic supercharger for a fraction of the price.

what it tries and do is force air into the car using an electric fan personally i would go on a hund for a 7.62cm fan (that pumps around 200cfm of air), or anything that is close to that and bodge it on with abit of tube and sealer and solved will cost you about 10-20 quid max mate

Should actually increase airflow in theory, the fan should draw air in.

i've often thought of getting an O2 bottle and just allow a very small amount to squirt into the inlet manifiold and then increase fueling. quite dangerous though i imagine.

wacking pure oxygen into the car has got to be the dumbest idea every mate sorry, but if it catches a spark then say goodbye, coz it will act like a bomb and blow you, your car and surrounding things into the air

Although, if you could wack it in at a very little rate, then it might work as long as you had the extra fuel like you said but its too dangerous to even consider, otherwise racing cars would use something similar.

but back to the fan thing, you would need to measure what the current air flow is at a given speed (lets say 60), otherwise the fan will act as a block if more air is being forced towards the fan and the fan can pump into the engine according to the fans air flow rate etc....although i think thats all bollox, but its just a quick thought
