[lextcy]

For the is300 guys, theres aparently a new intake which uses an electric supercharger to generate 1psi of boost at WOT

Claim is 240rwhp with just this intake. I dont know what to make of it, gimmick? Poor man's supercharger?

I read the forum, sounds interesting wonder if they'll make one for the is200 or if its compatable. I like the idea of it looking stock.

Does anyone understand how it works an intake with electronic supercharger?

Is it one of those ZET thingys:

Man it just pumps a whole lotta air into the intake system!! The mass sensor reads it and programs a whole lot more fuel to match!

You would eventually need bigger injectors for max performance I suppose, and it will stress the pistons like a turbo or a supercharger does, but it only works while you have your foot flat down, like nitrous.

Cute idea, should be real fun!
