I guess you could run a throttle cable to the leaf blower and attach it to your throttle cable to make them work in unison, neat could even work.

Yeah thats one thing im not sure, about is a regular turbocharger always turned on? If thats the case i guess this would have to be also, but this is much louder i imagine?

yeah ive seen the versions of this on ebay that were marketed.. they have everything you need to hookup a mini leaf blower to your intake.. but on their site it states to turn it on only when maxing RPM's.. i would think this should work all the time correct?

Thats what i was thinking, you wouldnt need it on all the time just for casual driving, but if you wanted to like floor the car, then you could turn it on. Can you please post a link to the site that you saw?

For the record the leaf blower will never make more than 1psi of boost. If anything it puts the motor at optimum efficiency without having to "suck" in air. If you have ever held your hand over the end of a leaf blower you will understand what I am saying. 1 psi = 10whp and thats what the dyno numbers said. Not that impressive when you think about it.

Berz out.

Im sure alot of this has to do with the power and the amount of air that the leaf blowers moves per minute, who knows what kind of blower they used in the video.

So someone has mentioned the e-charger again. I want to see a VIDEO of the car on the dyno on and off the e-charger. How hard is it to post a screencap or a picture or a video of this? Until I see results I will not spend $0.02 on the e-charger.
