You asked for it. The $192 supercharger we got from wish.com is officially going on our thirsty VW, Leonardo the Cabrio. With the help of Ethan and Edwin from Grind Hard Plumbing Co, will our little 2.0L euro beater become a high whining dodge demon clone? Or will it become just another car sitting in our parking lot that doesnt run? See if our Volkswagen makes more horsepower than stock, or less, or none at all.

Big thank you to Grind Hard Plumbing Co.! Check out their channel here:

  • Rolling out on the street at 10MPH sounding like and F1 car going 160MPH was the funniest thing I've seen in a while haha.
  • Had so much fun building this with you guys! What should we do together next?
  • The equivalent of putting a Soda can wedged into your bike tire at 10 years old
  • 5:10 Give the editor a raise for matching the recorded sound with the background sound. Love that shit
  • @TFZoia
    Can't belive this small charger almost doubles your power(after being removed)
  • @jellofuel
    I love how Nolan's sarcastic guess was surprisingly accurate lol
  • "Its amazing how quieter it got" Thats what we call self clearancing boys. Design tolerance by feel.
  • Ethan when he saw that it made 46hp laughed but then went to thinking mode wondering why it didn't work. I'm sure he could figure it out with more time. Hell he hit 15psi on his barbie jeep with it. That dude could seriously make a potato into a super charger he's a wizard.
  • @SWISS-1337
    At first I thought, wow, that's actually surprisingly great, for a supercharger from Wish, +46 horsepower. Then realised that was the total... So funny
  • It's impressive how that supercharger manages to halve the power of the car and reduce efficiency simultaneously
  • @T_Burd_75
    I'd like to see how this supercharger works on a 3-cylinder, 1L Geo Metro engine.
  • @oniken2008
    The amr500 was originally designed for a British car like a mini or something like that. However, it's currently usually used on old-school air-cooled VW bugs and buses with alot of success.
  • I don’t think I’ve ever clicked on a video so fast- I’ve been HYPED for this vid ever since we saw the supercharger
  • “I don’t think we’ve ever built a car that’s run optimally” 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
  • @jess_n_atx
    like other comments have said, they didn't take a lot of things into consideration, this needs another go around. it killing half your stock hp should be a sign they fucked up.
  • @barrymccockner6450
    I owned a 96 Cabrio back in the early 00's ,loved that little thing . My friends called it the roller skate ,it made tons of road trips on pennies in gas . It was many things , but fast was not one
  • @cbattman
    Part of me wants it to be on backwards so when turned round it does actually make some power! Why not (even if it's not right) turn it around & see how it goes?😁👍🏻
  • @RJKYEG
    Man it sounds like that supercharger has an incredible amount of friction, the impellers are going to weld themselves together.
  • @spokiee2000
    When they find out it wasn't lubricated from the factory.....
