Turbocharger or Blower
I was looking around at page for my nitro truck and I happend to run accros this picture http://nitromt.iwarp.com/cgi-bin/i/rcpics/turbo.jpg
Now if your anything like my this would not only get you searching for more info on one of these things, but how you can make one, or even a blower to put it on your R/C. If you were to make a blower, you could run a belt off of the flywheel, ¿I think? With the more complicated turbo design, it would require a turbine, compression wheel, and case, as well as custom intake and exhaust manifolds. If anyone knows anything about this, either respond, or email me.

Supercharger/blower
This has been discussed here before and the general consensus was that the added weight and complexity would make it not worth while. Much easier to get a larger or more powerful engine. YS engines are supercharged and for example my YS .91 FZ is seven ounces heavier than my Saito 100. The YS .91 has approximately the power of a good 120 fourstroke.
