So a leaf blower can potentially produce two pounds of boost. At 7 percent per pound thats about 23hp. If i connected the leaf blower to the compressor side of a turbo im thinking i could double the boost. Say 4 psi. So (again in theory) 46hp. Which is almost exactly our 200 hp cap. Plus id have boost at all times even from dead stop. So id have power from a stop which would be every caliber sxt 2.0 owners dream. Do you think our fuel map would adjust for 4 psi. Any other foreseen issues? Thinking about buying a chordless leaf blower and hooking it all up.

Serious noone has any technical ideals on issues with lack of program, fuel, anything? has anyone turbo'd an sxt motor before without a tune? i could run a usual turbo kit but id run into tuning problems. any technical advise? the cfm of the blower in question is about double normal cfm of the 2.0. anyone have any true input?
