Hello Volks,

Joel Walker and I have been tossing around the idea of using a Kompressor
(supercharger) instead of a turbo for a Diesel engine. This basically would
mean that a belt driven fan pushes cold air towards the combustion process
instead of using the preheated one from an exhaust driven turbocharger.  

Here is a new question for connaisseurs:
Who knows details of a possible setup for this and the pros and cons?

The Kompressor (supercharger) setup may use a bit more energy, however that
should not matter that much. What about the amount of air pressure though
and how to regulate it?
