Hey guys i saw on ebay these two items

i was wondering if you could help me out... are either of them worth the money...? And will it make any difference.

I know the fan one that places into the air duct will fit an EL 98
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ford-Supercharge ... 240%3A1318

But as for this next item im not to sure if it will fit in the EL...
I was more captured by this one as it was operated electronically so it didnt have to solely depend on any air being feed in to operate it unlike the one above.

Thanks :)

B Bear...don't waste your money. It is stupid and probably doesn't even improve performance, rather restricts the air flow.

I suggest you spend your money on real mods which have been proven. For an odd $45 bucks, you're better off buying a larger air snorkel which will give you better response and real performance.

I do not know if the item is a plug and play...and I'm sure you can make it fit.

phong =P~

Anything on EBAY that claims a ridiculous amount of power gain for about $50 - 100 is pretty fishy. Save your money and get an upgrade to your exhaust and intake and you'll never regret spending the money.

Those EBAY superchargers are actually Marine exhaust/bilge extraction blowers.
