This may sound a little stupid or a little ghetto-fabulous but this guy that lives next to me gave me an idea that seems logical but still almost insane. Tell why this won't work please. Or would it?
He was telling me about this boat that he was working on that had an fume blower on it that pressed out about 5psi of air. He bought this for $25. He was telling me that logically it would work the same way a turbo would but on a 12volt battery without the need of the exhaulst. Would there be a way to hook one of these blower motors up in a intake and use it as an electronic turbo that you can switch on an off like you can with NOS (or possibly hook it up to the tach to turn on at a certain RPM). Then have that running through an old Intercooler out of a junkyard. Of course you would have to do the process of bypassing the boost sensor, but it would be a cheap way of making boost. Is this a logical idea or am I just getting the Boost bug.:drool:
