I was just thinking about getting a little extra torque at low speed without having to move to a state that overlooks swapping out your Federal/factory engine. State allows you to swap in a different engine so long as it's from a newer vehicle and not an older one. Many with the 2.6 have swapped in the Starquest turbo setup. Others have swapped in a 4.3L v6 chevy.

I thought about something similar to this that I was going to hook up to variable switch attached to the throtle cable so as you give it more gas it would force more air in. Never went to far with it. it was suppose to be my Senior Project in Engineering but I switch majors and never finished it. my professors like it. maybe you get something to work. The other thing I was working with in this project was smooth air ways to the engine to have less turbid air.

Why not just take a page from old bomber tech and run the exhaust thru a power turbine hooked either to the driveline direct or to a genset then to an electric hybrid motor, a la the old turbo compound piston/turbine engines...

Haven't posted in a while but thought I'd jump in. This is probably not cheap, but it is a true well engineered 12V supercharger - VTES system. I believe VW was experimenting with some sort of compound forced induction system that used a 12V powered supercharger. BTW, this company also has an exhaust powered generator.
