[QUOTE="superpsd, post: 1341035, member: 15821"] Compounding can work both ways. Although banks is not highly praised here he is one of aftermarket companies that have R&D in super turbo diesels. On all of the setups they build which they have built many including a marine application Duramax that uses blower feeding twin parallel turbos which they sell. You would think they with all their money are doing so for a reason. Also Eaton themselves who are the biggest oem supplier of blowers and huge testing R&D labs have also been testing blowers on diesels to feed a turbo with a blower. They as well are likely doing it for a reason. As for me the setup works but has much room for improvement. The blower is not a restriction in a blower over turbo combo. Once the turbo is lit it pulls a bypass open and thus there is a 0 pressure differential (no load) on the blower. So when the turbo is getting the work done the only power draw the blower is using is the power to spin the mass of the rotors. eaton states that the TVS blowers use as little as 1/2 hp in a bypassed state. I am sure as rpm increases a unloaded blower will require a little more power but not likely a huge draw.
