But I was trying to think of a way to carry the same idea to my mower.

I'm still waiting for the garrett hydracharger to replace the typical supercharger.

All they are is marine venting motors. My boat has two. They make a funny noise. You can save yourself some money and to go a boat store and get one for ~$50.

The electrical power it would take to drive a turbo to produce significant boost would outweigh any small gain you may see.
P.O.S.

Hey man...that's not so nice.....so you're saying my hard-earned $150 bucks on my Mo-Ped was for nothing.

I gained .5 in the 1/4 with that 3-eturbo mod, buddy!

Oh yeah, and on my mower, I gained 1.5 extra passes of grass cutting per hour! I've got the slips to prove it!

If they work like they're supposed to and are reliable they'll be the SHIAT!!!! 0-100,000rpm in one second, if needed .

You could even swap in a hydraboost brake pump from a heavy duty truck to drive the hydraulic transmission.

I wonder how much longer until these things come out?
