No, not one of those damn leaf blowers either... I read about a roots style super charger driven by electric motors or something. I know, the high amps required to turn one capable of inducing measurable boost would also require a huge alternator, but this system claims to use a battery that is good for a few 13-14 second runs, and then requires charging. Mainly a drag strip application. But I was thinking it might be interesting to use as a method for bringing torque on sooner, then at higher rpms it would back off and charge a cap or the secondary battery. Maybee... maybee even use it for building boost to assist a large turbo to spool up. good low end fed by the battery or a large cap, then when the boost preasure is sufficient from the turbo, the cap or battery would begin a trickle charge so as not to demand to much current from the alternator. Haven't worked out all the bugs in my head. obviousley amongst them is where to put the darned thing, but in theory it sounds nice. I love making up kooky crap like this. I guess I'm just a brainstormer at heart. Help me figure out all the flaws in this thing. Maybee I'll post this over on the turbo page for them to laugh at.

lol... if I were you, I'd steer clear of that idea for now (both the electric blower AND posting on the 951 forum, lol)... the electric blowers run off car bateries and can't produce more than a few pounds of boost... in simpler terms... they f*ckin blow... by not blowing, hahaha... wow, i need sleep, gnight
