The newer TVS blowers are more efficient, I guess, or have a larger intercooler in the intake than the older MP122?
The TVS is more efficent than the MP series as it has a different rotor design.

You have a heat pump, its the byproduct of a PD blower

I'm not going to disagree with you. IAT's can be tough with a PD blower. Anything that compresses air produces heat. Its science...





That being said some of the IAT's pat is talking about are better than what I have seen from a lot of turbo guys lately.
