It's not a supercharger. It is more like a spacer. Basically it is like a nut that goes on a bolt. The inside of the blue thing is threaded causing the air to spin. This might give you an extra 5 horses. It is by no means forced induction.

Hell yea it works! Haven't you read the latest issue of Sport Compact Car? They put that supercharger on a 142 hp stock Integra LS and it gained 50 horses! There's a rumor that the turbo companies are going out of business because of this revolutionary idea. My buddy put one on his Geo Metro with I/H/E and now he can keep up with WRX STI's

If it's too good to be true........
