Looks like a fancy centripital supercharger to me.

I'm not into superchargers, but thought it may be of interest to someone.

how about the comprex/ pressure wave charger. granted its only ever been on one car, the mazda cappella diesel. i personally think its amazing, and if had a way to get one imported, would start experimenting with it. instantanious boost, without a superchargers drain?!?! its turbo and a superchargers illegitimate child! now that would be something to look into.

They are not as quick to spool up and deliver oooomph as a positive displacement blower. Against that, they don't have a ceiling like a PD blower. A PD blower runs out of puff beyond certain revs and can only deliver certain amounts of boost. The faster you can spin this type, the more it will pump. I like the Rotrex, it has a fabulous gearbox drive and is very compact for the output. I was going to use one on mine before I defected to the PD camp. Joe PS, they are NO WAY cheap. Good kit though.
