Electric supercharger, B.S. or not?

ok so ive been lookin around at these so called "electric superchargers". some of these companies are sayng that these bolt on, electric fans push 2 psi!. Now i own a NA, im puttin an exhaust on next week i got intake and soot to port, but all of that was cheap due to friends around town.
bolting up the turbo looks expnsive as all hell, like it would be cheaper to uy a rebuilt one, and while i love my car, i ant just drop 3 or 5 grand into it.
plus at 1 or 2 psi i probly wouldnt blow the apex seals or clutch


SO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!
is this "electric supercharger" just a load of crap??? has anyone actually tested one out on a rotary?

Complete crap. It would take huge amounts of electricity to get that PLASTIC turbine to spin at the RPMs needed to compress air to a practical, usable level.

Far better to spend the money on a port job. The rotary will blow up soon enough and when it does, seize the opportunity to unleash the potential of 1.3 litres of pure leaf blowing chain sawing snow mobiling POWER! I mean, you'll have the engine open already so get out ur dremel.
