Default electric superchargers

Hey i have a 88 na supra with cat back exhaust headers and a cai. i've been reading about electic superchargers on ebay. does anyone know if these are worth it at all or just a rip off. i dont want to go the turbo route cause i dont have enough money to change the whole wiring harness and everything else needed. if anyone knows anything about these let me know

Not really worth the money and the trouble putting it in
You'll gain how much? 5 horses?
For 200 dollars?
Power:Money ratio goes negative on that one
I thought about b4 too
But I believe it'll be more helpful
If you have a turbo car already
Since it can help a little spooling up your turbo

You know what's funny
My friend was installing a boost gauge last night
And when he was f-ing around
He started blowing on the fitting
Guess what? 2 psi lol

So instead of paying for a electric supercharger
Jus pay a friend 5 bucks to blow on it lol
That's how strong those things are lol

Imagine what would happen when the plastic fan on the electric supercharger breaks.

Are yall talking about those little tiny booster fans you put in your intake hose???

If so...those are a waste of $$$$$, and actually an intake air restriction.
