An utter load of ***** basically. In the same leaque as performance resistors. Honestly these people are time wasters.
"The e-RAM's fan is powerful enough for it to take flight. Watch as the e-RAM shoots upward using only the force of its own fan. Then watch the e-RAM propel a heavy "Duraflame" fire log across the floor."
Thats because they are the same as used in some model aircraft... And a turbo would be like a jet engine compared, and would be capable of pushing your CAR along.

£300...
could buy a turbo manifold for that, they suck don't buy one.

How's this for a spin on the idea...
I know someone who built his own custom pod filter enclsure (N15 Pulsar/Almera SR20DE so he had considerably more engine bay room than us micra owners) and used a variable temp sensor outdoor 12V DC fan to feed cooler air from the cold air intake located inside the bumper cavity. Fan on and off was definately noticeable in stop start traffic (lets remember that we're talking a 32degree C day, not a mild UK 20deg C
). The car didn't bog down as much when the fan was turned on and it was bringing fresh air to the pod filter. TOtally silent and hidden too, so you wouldnt have known it was there. Wasnt a bad idea and I havent seen anyone replicate it yet!
If you want a laugh though there's an american honda video where they put one of those leaf blowers onto the civic's intake and dynoed it. Believe it or not there was something like a 15hp increase in wheel HP on the run where they put the leaf blower at full throttle.

Why would anyone think that sticking a small electric fan onto an engine intake will actually help?
A supercharger requires something like 16bhp (20% of 80bhp) to operate (depending on design etc). This 16bhp is used to run the compressor. Now 16bhp is about 12,000 watts. How much power does your alternator produce, enough to run 12 hairdryers at once?
[As a side point a learner legal 125cc motorbike has less power than this]
I'd bet that any gains found with this product are down to the pod air-filter it comes with. If you removed the fan you get better performance from a clear inlet tract.

My other half bought an eRam for his MR2. He spent an absolute s*** load of money on it for very little difference in performance. Then it broke so it only got used for about 2 months. Its still on the car but he hasnt bothered to set it up again.

I don't think that anyone seriously thinks that the elctric fan would have a positive effect.
