Hi Paul,
After reading Corky Bells Turbocharger book, I went looking for the
interesting Aerocharger he refers to several times. VERY Impressive as I am
certain the price is as well. No oil lines, no coolant lines, Variable Vane
Turbine, VERY impressive Torque curve on engine. 5000 hour life.
Take a look at

I am thinking it probably runs close to $2000, but don't know for
certain.

I just looked at the tech page and we don't need the variable vanes.
That is a car thing where you need low RPM torque. Too bad we cannot buy
it with just the lube system, ball bearings and no vanes for less money.
