6. How is the eRAM different than a supercharger or Turbocharger?
Answer: The eRAM is a distant cousin of the full blown turbo or supercharging system which employs a centrifugal impeller

To get my GTP into the low 13s, I removed the belt from the eaton and installed this in front of the throttle body.

If you want the real scoop on this POS Scam...
It's nothing but a MID-POWER RANGE R/C Electric Ducted Fan assembly with a piece of hose and an air filter duct taped to it...
Also 700 watts is very weak from that size fan (i.e. the motor sucks badly) Some guys on the rcgroups.com Jet forum push well over 1100 watts regularly for, obviously, much longer periods of time than this POS 700...
First post btw

2 Cent Advice
A rule that I follow to spell fishy offers such as these is:
"Legit" HP isn't cheap. If the advertised product claims less than $80 per HP, be very skeptical.
* I arrived at the $80 figure by dividing $3000(approximate cost of turbo) by 37.5HP(HP gained by adding turbo). Turbo/Blower is universally regarded as delivering the most HP for the buck, so anything claiming more efficiency should be viewed with suspicion.
