Vested interest, yes I do...however if you remember I came from my own shop where I had the opportunity to sell anything I wanted, and I chose the MagnaCharger system.

As usual you are taking a public message board and turning it into your own personal stage where you are the star.
Brian, I don't mind debating you on certain issues or points, but the constant personal attacks get old. Why do you have to do this? The only thing I can think of is that your argument or point is weak. Making presumptions as to my motivations or just plain attacking me doesn't do anything positive for anyone.

If I had data or information, I would gladly share it with you. But I don't, so I can't. You say you do, but you won't or can't share it. How helpful is that? It would be better to just not say anything about being privy to 'secret' info, otherwise you should expect a challenge.

Your point about OEM's using Eaton blowers is a good. That's one very solid piece of data that stands on its own. But reliability is only one possible reason for this - others could be licensing issues, knowledge of logistical or supply chain problems with the Lysolm unit, etc.

I agree a twin screw is more reliable than a turbo, but thats a whole'nother can. F8L will tell you all about it, I'm sure.
yes I believe eaton bought the patents.

hows that

That was good thanks. Now I can sleep!

I would think you would have to bleed off the air directly between the screws. But that sounds a lot easier that it would be. Where along the screws? To be as effective, the valve would have to be the whole lenth of the screws, but that's just crazy.

Kevin, none of my argument is weak, Again, I have not attacted you....I poked at you and you took it too heart. I am sorry that I can only speak of what I know and not show you the proof you need to belive me.....Others trust me and my word, sorry you do not.

that is why many believe the valve on the twins screws does not really do much or what they are supposed to do.

They do, however the blower is still compressing creating a pumping loss.
