Q

SuperCharger

A

Centrifugal forces via impeller compress air prior to entry into piston canister. This higher air density improves performance. Beware overboost at sea level/low altitude watch MAP.
SUPERCHARGER
therefore open throttle gradually to avoid OVERBOOST.
5seconds taxi to takeoff, allows excess MAPs therefore manually limit to 36.5” OR cylinder damage. OBSERVE LIMIT. EVEN IN AN EMERGENCY NEVER STRAIGHT BALLS TO THE WALL. 1” per 30seconds.
