If you are thinking that way, you might as well skip the turbo all togetehr and just feed comressed air dirrectly to the engine.Dinzdale40 said:you would not need an electric motor in the engine bay....basically you could make the turbo connect to an onboard compressor just like you would attach a impact wrench to a home compressor...you could have a tank in the rear of the car with a compressor specially designed to build pressure as fast as it possible....then all you would need is a turbo up front driven by compressed air instead of exhaust....this would only last a minimal amount of time tho...but until you find a motor that could continuously build boost without a tank it would make it last alot longer and be easier to control...

talontsiawd said:Well, supposeadly the legit, high priced ones work. Just not very well. They have some very high priced ones 2k+ that i've read about that work well. The problem is it really taxes your electrical system and you end up paying for what you could get out a similar turbo set up. If you got a small turbo that you could realistically run on 1-2 psi used, like a t25 (if you can find a waste gate that will work) and an manifold, you are at the same place. With that little boost, you don't need an intercooler or bov, or injectors. So i conventional turbo setup using the stock injectors, etc, isn't going to give you any benifit over a conventional turbo.
