Those look like static air vanes.Hell yeah. Not sure about the machining on the impeller though or the red anodizing.

Build it, break it, build it, break it, sell it! My friend's nephew did this multiple times with his Subaru WRX spending thousands of dollars to try and make it faster. Ours is not to reason why, mine is to take their money and sell them stuff!

Lol... speaking of grannies..
Back in the (younger) days I had the horsepower bug and supercharged my (already modified) 5.7l GM V8 car only to find it had so much power I had to 'ease' it off the line (full heavy right foot gave rise to some wicked axle tramp). It was always a game of when I could actually accelerate....
One day a little granny beside me at the lights blew me away in her little Toyota Corolla before I'd even got across the intersection... that was the final straw... bug was cured... so out came the supercharger and reverted back to 'driveable' stock....never bolted on a performance mod ever since on anything.
Since then I've reached the conclusion that buy it how you want it is the best long term option... (although my 22 year old son is saying all the same things I used to so now we're playing around with electronics on his car)... lol

Working on and upgrading performance in either handling or power (or both) is a gateway to building DIY confidence regardless if these kids are throwing money away and they learn to actually use (and greatly appreciate) tools.
Half my 10-y/o’s friends are jammed up begging for video game money burning their eyes out because it’s the only form of instant gratification they’ve been raised to grasp. It’s really all they know how to do. The other half are hand-cutting sorghum cane, operating sub-compact loaders and bring meat birds to market all while getting As in school and playing a hellacious amounts of base/basket/foot-ball. Those same kids are tinkering on 2-strike and diesel motors now and could give 2 $hits about fortnite. Along the way they’ve learned to save too.
Net net is nothing around these DIY ethos families stays down for long which allows folks to function efficiently and cost-effectively regardless how much $$$ is hemorrhaging later down the road on turbos, blowers and tractors hah.
Now, the folks that have no experience under a hood racking up CCs for speed are idiots, shame on them but mostly their parents.
By far one of the most rewarding journeys for me was an Armageddon based twin-turbo coyote mustang build. This was a decade ago and Hellion was still fighting with On3. I’d likely go hellion now but put a Vortech in the current coyote cause hell I hadn’t done that before.
