Thomas Knight Electric Super Chargers

I was reading in a mag when I came across this product.. Not a direct bolt on, and a little pricey, but has anyone thought or pondered on adapting something like this to there 1600 TI or a TIV...
I enclosed the URL below..

http://www.boosthead.com/product.php

Basically, an eaton compressor.. Just a thought, something different...

adverise 75 Hp at flick of a button.. Hmm

This came up on Pelican Parts' 914 Forum concerning something similar (the eRam) and I offer the thread up as FYI.

Remember, it's going to take juice to run those electric motors, so you'll have to factor in that load (and subsequent power loss) on your charging system.

While at work I was pondering how to hook something like this up.. What kind of manifold adapter would this entail, any thoughts..
It didn't even occur the load issue.. Hmm..

You could make your own turbo kit for less $$$ and make more power...
