these chargers are the way forward. i run a caterham with a 2L rotrex charger on it, it makes 370hp easy. they are a turbocharger intake compressor on the back of a gearbox and pulley. the pulley is not direct drive and you can get so many ratios and pulley sizes you can make it ideal boost for your car. if you are considering forced induction these are the way to go!

EGT will remain pretty much the same for a given power output given similar engines.
BMEP and specific power output.

These blowers need careful matching of pulleys to ensure that the fan curve ends up at the position .
Nice though
