PM Amazing Nate... he could probably hook you up with some hamsters and a wheel for them

Next best thing to a turbo is a supercharger.

could a compressor do the trick aswell ?

never heard anything about that...

OK man, here's what you do. You get the most expensive hair dryer Target has to offer. Some rubber hose and some hose clamps and your set. Just don't run it on high, you might blow your engine.

i think yur actually running 14psi of boost right right now, cause isn't that what atmospheric pressure is?

www.howstuffworks.com lookup turbo... you cant have boost without a turbo or supercharger... there are a few different types of superchargers too...

How about a really big box fan?



To make this post somewhat helpful, a short analogy of how turbochargers work:

Think of two siamese twin snails, connected at the shell since birth. You feed one snail exhaust, but since they can't digest exhaust it just goes out the other end. However, since these are siamese twin snails, the other snail senses what's happening to its twin, so it gets freaked out and starts to hyperventilate, which makes it burp a lot for some reason. One harnesses the power of the burping snail by directing its burps into the intake, which increases the pressure of the air going into the intake (effectively, the amount of air getting in there), and thus more power from more oxygen.
