Re: Blow me - Motorcycle turbocharger kit

These types of things keep popping up on the car sites too. The "better" ones are inline blowers, both chugging 14,000 rpm mini fans. They flow enough air to lift up a tennis ball, but I don't see them offering significant "boost", which is what they are supposed to do if they are going to call themselves turbos.

Not to say that there may not be some type of minimal power increase, as we all know that the "Ram Air" tech that was on some Pontiacs worked while on the highway. But with smaller boosts like these fans offer, I would be interested to see if the draw on the electric system would actually counter balance that...
