If I had the money. This would be going on the new build.

I wonder how well it actually works (if it works at all ! - show mock ups being a possibility) with a turbo blowing into a REALLY well undergeared supercharger ?

I figured it might have been from the sidecover. But as regards running 'well', the idle is all over the shop!

Lovely bit of kit that trike, Dave knows his stuff so im sure he'll iron out any issues.

I guess kind of a pipe dream. But sure would be fun to have all that extra torque. This is what it would go into.

I work in power generation. A couple of decades ago I worked at a plant that had a Caterpillar diesel engine as a starter motor for the gas turbine. The cat was a V12 configuration using a turbo on each side feeding into a pair of roots blowers, one on the front half & one on the back half. It was the craziest thing i'd ever seen. Sure wish I'd taken pics of it
