this is really a funny product back in the days. plenny of youtube video on this , see the MCM one.

The issue here, this is a fan and not a compressor system. It might only increase the air speed and not the pressure.

I already saw a real electric turbo project : huge electric motor, transmission and compressor. The problem is the electric kW convertion to the mecanical kW (hp). The energy balance is very bad, so it won't work.

If anything, I'd think this would act as an obstruction between your turbo and the outside air.

Its interesting the add makes not claims about CFM or boost. Even they know.....

I can't believe they're still selling these things. They've been something like this on eBay for at least 14 years for various cars and in different variations. The most likely scenario to play out here is that it breaks apart and becomes a hazard to your engine which I've read about back in the day when honda-tech was still a thing and I had a Honda.
