It just gets worse (ebay tat)

Electric supercharger (Generation 3 no less) complete with dump valve, thats right, dump valve



Anyone actually buy this stuff? Asside from the fact your not creating boost, where are are you going to find a vacuum hose to operate the DV?

Auction: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELECTRIC-SUPER...d=p3286.c0.m14

Re: It just gets worse (ebay tat)

I've never seen any cars with them on, maybe it's because I've never been to a kruz for about 4 years

Re: It just gets worse (ebay tat)

Yeah i've seen them. How much air goes back out of the engine and into the airbox when you slow down? How do you operate the dump valve on a non-turbo car?

Also surely IF that crap DID actually work, it would be creating "boost" as soon as the engine is started. Meaning you'd be idleing really high wouldn't you?

If i get bored i'll email the seller later asking him genuine questions

you know what, going through their feedback and seeing how many they've sold, i think i might actually buy a cone filter, a samco hose pipe ( or there abouts ) and see how much the dump valves are and actually try and sell it, see what happens. Could be a nice little earner that lol

Oh what it was to be young and naive

Re: It just gets worse (ebay tat)

Does the Generation 3 Supercharger dump valve make that blow off sound


The Generation 2 & 3 Supercharger dump valve is a modified valve that is unlike any other dump valve on the market, it is unique to JJ MSP and the Generation 2 & 3 Supercharger. it will opperate on any internal combustion engine and is designed to offer maximum life to the internal impeller and motor. The noise leaving the valve can be heard in some cases, (Turbo applications)

Re: It just gets worse (ebay tat)

Can the ETS Supercharger, Generation 2 & 3 be used with a mechanical turbo?

Yes, The ETS Supercharger, Gen 2 & 3 can be used with a mechanical turbo, this will generate boost equivalent in the lower rev range and eleviate mechanical turbo lag. Also, The systems aid the performance from the turbo when in boost.

surely it would restrict the turbo ?

Anything in the inlet pipes would cause a restriction, especially a plastic fan and motor, gotta be taking up at least half of the volume of the intake pipe.
