I think you need to call the heads of R&D at BMW, BMW M, MB AMG, Jaguar, GM and Ford and teach them a little forced induction engineering because it seems they do not know what they are doing.. 
What they do seem to know is not to block off virtually all air supply to the engine radiator and use a pathetically underdimensioned kompressor, spinning it way over max rated RPM while developing large amounts of heat and hoping it will last at least until the warranty period is over. None of their cars seem to lose all power in the last 500RPM of the power band from a completely saturated blower either? I think they need some engineering input guys as this does not seem right following your logic or lack thereof..  |
