eRAM Supercharger

Initially I had a lot of doubts to install it or not but finally I've ordered a sigle device to mount it inline with original air filter system.

What I can say so far:

- no noticable difference in performance

- real 1 psi boost mesured at vacuum meter

- no visible impact on a battery charge - at least while using the car with eRAM and heavy ICE for the last half a year I still can start the engine without problems.

- noticable noise from a supercharger when on- sounds like a low revs turbo.

- no noticable impact of air flow when off

I shall keep doing some testing using G-Tech to understand what improvements could be on a 1/4 mile distance.

So far here is how it was mounted (black simmetrical barrel is an eRAM unit, the actual electric motor and fan are located in its righter half, left part is just a cover to mount unit inline, instead of left part you can append a Free Flow air filter of course in this case eRAM should be after AFMetter):

Power is supplied directly from the battery through relay, which is controlled by NOS-style WOT switch mounted on a throttle.

This is draft test result so far. I've made a wee mistake during testing so this result could be not correct (Black - with eRAM on, RED - eRAM off). I'll retest soon.s
