Do things like turbonator, spiral max, and other cheap "superchargers" really work to increase hp up to +30?

No. By the time the air gets to the combustion chamber, the spiraling action is no longer in effect.

Yep sure enough it's true. Why I had a buddy that bought THREE tornado air intakes and installed them one after the other. I didn't think it was a good idea but the dude had no intention of heeding my wisdom and fired her up. Well have you ever watched star trek, and the ship makes this huge flash of blue light and BOOM gone? The only explanation I can find is that the vortex multiplied upon itself to catastrophic proportions until it created a black hole within each cylinder that drew in upward of a few billion CFM of air, and as you know, the more air the bigger the bang. Anyways the cops are still looking for him so they can fine him for excessive speeding, but they are still working on a subspace scanner to pick up his warp signature.

Five kilowatts to turn that leaf-blower. Don't forget to invest in a generator set and a trailer to haul it on.

As far as the electric super charger goes it is too bad that it runs on a 24V system not a 12V system. Also 5kw is a ton of power. Especially when some small engines only make 40K or so.

Just run down to Sears and pick up a shopvac....hook up the tubing on the "blow" side, run that sucker to your intake....cut a hole in your hood like any smart human would and have that sucker poking out of your hood, that way it looks mean!!! And who doesn't want to list "craftsman supercharger" as a car part?????? LOL
