RE: What the h*** is this?!
anyone have any Idea how much air needs to be forced into the engine to product any amount of boost? I know that turbo turbines turn at like 15K rpms plus...
I am guessing that a "industrial strength" Leaf blower is around a 3rd of that?

"Usually measured in pounds per square inch....Boost is also measured in Bar. One Bar equals 14.7 psi."
Which I do know 14.7 psi is atmospheric pressure... but I dont know if there is a mathmatical/scientific way to break it down to 1lb of boost = x amount of RPMs. Given the fact that engine sizes, lrg/sm turbos, intakes, etc all play a factor in generating boost.
I did see that some cars can generate the lowest amount of boost at 500rpm where others were 2k+... I guess it just depends.
Anyboy else know that answer?

And to answer the first question of this thread, that is the result of what happens when a truck takes ill-advised "performance enhancing ram air". It gets all bulked up like Bonds or Clemens and then breaks down eventually.

well, I know this much... the amount of boost generated is directly related to size of turbine and speed of rotation. I know that it takes a lot of power to compress air into an engine... I am not sure that it is possible to accomplish that task with an electric motor... But I have been wrong befor.
