Here's what ROUSHGTR on Corner-Carvers sent one poor bid winning chap:
With all due respect my friend, are you mentally retarded, or just a moron?
I have a manufacturer's coupon for $1.50 off an oil filter. It actually expired last year, but I'll sell it to you for only $10.00 if you want. Sounds crazy doesn't it? Well it's not as crazy as what you just did.
Do you realize that you just bid $150.00 plus $20.00 shipping for a $24.00 bilge blower for a boat! Take a close look for yourself at the following link:

This one is even rated at 220 cfm (not the wimpy 150 cfm version that you bought).
Not only did you get ripped off, but the whole concept of trying to "supercharge" your engine with a blower motor is absolutely insane. More than likely, if you were to install this in your air intake, it would impede the airflow to the engine and actually rob horsepower.
You'd probably also be interested to know that I first became aware of your stupidity through an internet chat board that has been making fun of your gullibility.
Do yourself a favor and back out of this deal immediately -- the worst that the seller can do is slam you with a negative feedback point, at which stage you can respond regarding his unscrupulous business practices. If you communicate with him up front about what you've found out, he'll probably never even post negative feedback, just to keep you quite while he rips all the other idiots off.
Good luck...

I don't think you could spin an electric motor fast enough and with enough force to make positive pressure. Maybe on a gocart, but not a car motor.
