Yes, say with your blower displacement and rpm your spin it it will make 10psi. You feed it air that is already compressed to 10 psi with the turbo, the blower will still compress 10psi, so you will have 20psi coming out of the blower. Give or take depending on efficiencies.

thanks ... with that said, why are there not more blower turbo combos giving immediate boost from the blower with even greater boost as the turbo kicks in? I know boost is not the end all, but it seems like a great concept.

that sc woudl deffinitally become restrictive. guys are maxing them out without twin turbos feeding them. If it was a big liter Whipple or KB then it might beable to keep up with the 76mm upgrade, but that stock eaton doesnt have a chance. It would never allow the turbos to breath at their full potential. That is what I think.

I saw this one in some sema pictures. Someone said it was only making 9 psi though?

umm... do you understand how a positive displacement blower works? It will mulitply the inlet density... and if your feeding it high density air, it will increase it on top of that..

The argument between kenne bell whipple or eaton is clearly proving that "marketing" has brainwashed you into thinking the screws will perform awesome nomatter what condition.. The fact is, they are ALL positive displacement units and will have similar characteristics in this environment.. the diffrences between them will be only a minor factor.. the major factor is the arrangement!!

I don't know anything about it other than seeing the picture. Here is a pic of what it is in.

I understand. I guess I was confused. I guess having seen so many people rip off those Eatons for Whipples and KBs meant that they moved more air thus creating more power. Thanks for explaining it man
