Thats funny! They are trying to sell a "squirrel cage" blower motor as a supercharger, these are used for your heater and AC and couldn't compress air if of you hooked 40 of them together at once!
If you look at the first pic in their gallery you will see the "supercharger" connected BACKWARDS!!.
They connected the "supercharger" intake to the engine intake...so it would be removing air from the engine!!! The "business" end of the blower is the end with the flange(flat mounting end of it) thats where the air would come out...not from the round sides.

If you look at the other pics, it looks like it is just shoved in there and not really mounted. You would have to be really nieve to buy something like this, a good looking web site doesn't equal an honest product.
