Alternator Belt Driven Turbo? Whadya Think?
http://www.boosthead.com/home.php
Comments, thoughts, idiotic stabs at humor? Could be a good solution for cars without a ton of aftermarket support.

would there be space to stick the turbo in somewhere?
the engine bay isn't spacious to begin with....and less space if you have a PWR in there

The name "turbocharger" comes from "turbine", the turbine being the blades driven by the exhaust gases. Regardless of what they call it, it's a belt driven supercharger. I think SVXFiles has fit one, or tried one anyway, installing it where the battery is located.

The toy thing in the ad (con), would not compete with a babies fart.
 The guts of an old vacuum cleaner would do just as well. Suckers/blowers.

wow, props to SVXfiles for trying something new. How much do you figure all that ran in the end? How much boost was it able to produce, etc...

I have $82,349.68 in stainless steel bolts and nuts alone. $721.15 in belts, $1182.05 in aluminum angle iron, plus intercoolers, waste gates, boost guages, widebands, laptops, wires, plating, spacers, aluminum 3" tubing, FOUR superchargers, five SC mounts, a wife and the respect of my children....... So far I've seen, actually my son Nick has seen 7psi at 6000 rpm. Note; 7psi on a PORTED engine is as much flow as say, 9 psi on a stock engine. On my last much smaller supercharger, I had 8psi before I ported the engine, and 6 psi after porting. You want air flow, not just pressure. It's hard to watch guages at 100 on a back a$$ windy road at 7 psi. j/k about the $82,349.68. I could replicate it for under $4000.00 installed!
