Bilge pump mateys! Arrrgh.

The only working electric superchargers are from jackson racing to my knowledge and they are expensive and run off of a seperate power source. Electric superchargers circa ebay don't do a whole lot may increase the cfm a bit and lower intake temps but theres a danger of the plastic blades breaking off.

No...placing an impeller between the intercooler and t/b in a turbo setup would be a bad idea; it's not going to increase flow and may restrict it...it may be different inline pre-supercharger but remember this is 12volts...the power for your interceptor?!? It's not going to do a whole lot if anything.

If you run it open as a "fan" (it is a fan!) and you run an open air short ram it should reduce intake temps somewhat...that would be useful but again inline before your filter isn't a good idea.

Jackson racing superchargers are different but cost like 800-900 bucks.

Okay...to be relatively sane here I'll say it. Yes you can run it and it'll cost you about 60 bucks with couplers and 18 gauge wire + an inline switch and split loom but you probably won't feel any difference in performance other than the obvious placebo effect.

If you choose to do it make 100% sure that you put a metal mesh shield over the impeller on the side that goes to your throttle body so that the plastic fan blades doesn't break off. Also before you buy get the pump that pushes the most cfm (cubic feet per minute if I'm not correct), actually the inline bilge pumps like http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Detma...mZ180214440486

You should be able to get the couplers and mesh metal from home depot. I think the 4" flows 240cfm. Again this is better as a cooling mod rather than an inline "blower"; as a fan for a ram air setup but it's your car do what you want...if it doesn't work do something else!

For calling everyone bitches and ********

Everyone is flaming you because you didn't do your research, and you are asking an obvious question. If these things really did amazing things for 30 bucks, everyone would have one. Also, if you are just starting to learn as you say, learn how to use SEARCH button. I'm guessing your other hobby is bboying based off of your name? lol, same thing at bboy.org bud, if there is posts/guides that already show you how to do a flare, do u go posting a thread saying "How do I do a Flare?" You're just getting the obvious feed back that any forum would give you for posting an obvious thread.
