The $50 electric supercharger is a bunch of crap. Chris Pinthong in San Diego dynoed on on his NX2K and got zero horsepower gain.

As for imparting rotation to intake air, that's lost by the time all of the turns in the intake have been negotiated. I could maybe see a use on a carbureted car; the swirl would help with air/fuel mixing. On a port fuel-injected car, it will have no benefit.
