answer is no cos i dont know wtf it is, and would be pointless along side a bmc anyway

best off fitting another box generally an open cone, if you turbo it im pretty sure you can get the angle or space to fit the bmc box.

do not swap your bmc for an open cone that would be foolish lmao

Probably not fake but it looks crap tbh dude lol
Stay away and get an enclosed induction kit instead
Cooler air=smoother and better performance :y:

well the discription says :
"This auction is for an elctric supercharger it is a high spec model in turbo style design and high power motor which makes it a bit more powerfull than the inline version that i also sell but the only disadvantage is the bit of extra room that it take up, but it will give a massive gain in torque and acceleration and upto a 40bhp gain used with a cone filter. This is a great item you wont be dissapointed."
and heres a few pics of it installed on a car :

seems like it sucks in the air through the induction :wacko:
BTW!! is the bmc induction good? and what gains does it provide?

your bmc will be best for ur car on its own, only way of getting more power from forced induction is proper turbos! which cost alot, so its a waste of money, dont buy it!

Dont buy it also mate waste of your dollar
Enclosed induction kit like a Green Air or Raceland will provide better gains of upto usually about 2-5 bhp
but the 'feel' of the car can be better like slightly smoother and the running temp cooler providing improved idle
On a TU lump this would be pointless so just stick to tried + tested products mate :)
