I don't do distance kits anymore, I only do local work. I won't do distance kits again until I have a bit of money & a few cars for mockups. Turbo kits aren't a great idea for sales imo. Too many people don't know how to properly maintain kits & lots of people get mad at companies & blame them for their own mistakes. If you drive a turbo car like you would an n/a or supercharged car there's a good chance it will fail in two years, ball bearing turbo's have an even worse failure rate.

Locally that's not bad, people tend to listen to you better when you talk face to face & I don't mind helping people out with trouble they run into + they don't have to pay a decent amount for shipping if they mess up their turbo, they can just drop it by to be rebuilt.

If the leafblower will move enough cfm, you'd get a powergain, problem is some wont & even if they did it's still bulky & not something you want to lug around in your engine bay. There is an electric supercharger that works very well, the guy that made it will even let you take a test ride in the car for people that are skeptical.

I saw the leaf blower video too! Morans...they were holding a N2O bottle and put the nozzle up to the intake. I heard that the shop that the dyno was in got shut down. Don't know if it is true or if it was related to this particular deal or what.
