Exclamation SuperCharger.........SCAM!!!!!

I remember seeing on OSO years ago about a guy selling stuff like this on Ebay. Electric superchargers with 5psi boost? LOL Good grief.......read the Terms and Conditions section. YouTube installation video is "hidden" unless you have the link from the site, and the domain registry is full of crap.

http://www.superchargertuning.com

I found this because it was a Google advertisement at the top of this forum!

Just for kicks I went on there and searched for a kit for my truck. The description looks like Borat wrote it...

Your brand of Dodge Ram can dash on the road at that speed you have admired from your friends. This is and only possible when you have a supercharger from our qualitative and cheap selection of supercharger kit and bolt on superchargers. The superchargers are meant to give your car engine a boost that will make all admire your truck. Why make others look down upon your brand Dodge Ram. It’s still powerful and can make the performance and torque of your car rise to make you be there as fast as possible. We value your money and we ensure that you go back with some penny after every purchase. Just give us $199.99 and have the horse power of you truck increase by 80 hp. It doesn’t matter the weight of load that you carry in your first or second generation truck. It can still produce a supercharging power to enable you be the best timer on the road.

I think that's about the only true statement that they make.

What is the problem? I use these and they really work! not to mention the huge improvement in my gas mileage!!!


(It really does make you wonder who would order one. "Lets see... I know nothing about cars, but I have heard of a supercharger. I'll order the cheapest one I can find.")

Default Electric Sankeoil sold here !

There is a thread in the Tech section - budget section I believe and I think we may have an OSO member pushin this crap on the OSO in a sneaky fashion.
Anybody who thinks they can get help from this crap should let me know as I have some ocean front beach property in Omaha that I will make you a smok'in deal on !!

Best Regards,
Ray @ Raylar

Good grief, the fan over my toilet has more oomph than that thing! I can'tbelieve people really buy into this crap. More power to him, if you're gullible enough to buy that junk then you deserve to loose your money.

and we wonder how we ended up with bartenders having their $1mil + homes foreclosed on....
