i can't se anyway that thing can flow enough air to help after 1500 or so rpm. if it was between the turbo and the motor maybe.

The description does say "2 stage supercharging" and is working in conjunction with the factory turbo....." manifold pressures up to 60 psi"......maybe the blower is bypassed after a certain boost level from the turbo? Otherwise the blower will just get in the way!!

it may work like a twin charger. they did it on a mini cooper in sport compact car mag, its actually pretty cool. The blower will give you the instant linear boost, while helping the turbo spool up, not sure if thats how he has it set up though

I'd like to know if the hood will actually close? Going by the one picture shown, I'd say "not even close to closing"

He says you need a 5" cowl induction hood for it. Although he is rerouting the piping to use a 2 1/2" cowl hood..
