i seriously wonder what they actually do.

Funny how all these ppl are buying these so call superchargers and giving them positive feedback!

I'm starting not to trust ebay feedbacks

It has the same effect of putting a computer fan in your air filter and having it on at all times. All it is is a crappy little fan running the whole time off of your battery which would probably give you an extra horse or two maybe, in the higher rpm's it would probably decrease horsepower, piece of crap.

Yeah I would stay away from that one if I were you. If you really want one, I know that Toyota made a TRD Supercharger a couple of years ago for the Gen 4 Camry and Camry Solara. I'm not sure it would work, but I wouldn't see why not. They are the same engines with the exception of more horsepower on the ES. If it turns out they do work, good luck finding one. Toyota stopped production on them awhile back and it's rare to find one pop up. You could also look into some more aftermarket models, but other than that there really isn't much more to look at. Hope this helped!

Thats a piece of ****

Most likely probably decreases power. Might even zap the battery.

Not worth it IMO. Next!
