Is it worth what it says? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Don't waste your money.

Products like this have been around for decades and have been proven to be complete crap every time. The way I see it, if it really worked and gave some (any) measurable gains some of the auto makers would be installing them.

Read the add carefully,
"Not only does the Stage 2 Supercharger produce 900CF of forced air into your engine when turned on".
What the heck is "CF". It sure isn't CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). Maybe it's Cubic Feet per Lunar Cycle. And at what pressure? None, I'll bet.

As a reference, turbos that are appropriately sized for our 1.5 liter engine (Garret T25/T28) will, at most, force around 400 to 450 cubic feet per minute of air into your engine (CFM) at 6 or more PSI.

Besides, any time one of the selling points is "Performance sound from engine bay", you know its crap.
