I have seen a few centrifugal Electric turbos all seem to clame to be safe and the $300.oo one claimes 400cfm. but what i want to know is are they safe? are they BS? Will it be able to live up to its claimes. https://www.superchargerkits.com/ this is the main website i have seen i know that the inline so called electric turbos are nothing more than bilge pumps but the centrifugal ones have me confused a little help please.

I was wondering about these "electric turbos" myself and really want to give one a try. According to a machine shop in my neighborhood they are bull.He says a professional flow bench has 6 vacuum cleaners sized motors and only puts out about 600 cfm. After hearing this i think the electric motors are fake but i still want to see them in action. You are better off getting a port job or a cam and adj. cam gear.

It's telling that the first mentioned "electric turbo" flows 400 cfm. Most naturally aspirated engines flow that much anyway, and smoothing out the intake flow would be far easier and cheaper.
