The salient point here is that regardless of the design of the cold side, if there is no means to extract power from a fluid flow (turbine) to drive it, it's does not warrant the "turbo" moniker.
Again, not to be pedantic, but no turbine; no turbo.

So if the Compressor Wheel was originally designed originally for a Turbocharger, if you buy the wheel (which Vortech did from Turbonetics and other Turbo manufacturers) and bolt it into a Vortech Supercharger
it immediately becomes a Supercharger design vs a Turbocharger design.
Interesting. What ever you say.

You would need several small electric Superchargers (3 or 4) to equal one simple Vortech Street Supercharger on a V8 engine.
A base T-Trim Vortech Supercharger has made 862 HP on a 5300 rpm Pontiac engine on the dyno.
