Default Re: why no blowers in daily drivers?

I do think this is possible and one of the tests I'll be preforming id just that. The Eaton blower is available at a very reasonable price they were available on Buick's since 1992 until the mid 2000 on their 3.9L engines. Unfortunately there isn't an intake available for them. These blowers work on a demand principle where the engine run under atmospheric pressures until Manifold vacuum drops below a predetermined value and you get max boost. This allow the driver a stock engine performance until he needs more power. I've built such a setup for testing and will pass along the results. These are also available from Magnason, They use a different blower , but operate on the same principal. Pics to follow.
