Jerry Magnuson was a heck of a guy, extremely innovative, and well liked in the Boost Community. RIP Jerry 2015.

He did his dual Supercharger set-up years ago that worked well and later did his ""Flipped Inlet" Supercharger where he used a jackshaft to drive the S/C pulley with the S/C drive pulley located in the firewall area and the S/C inlet near the radiator. Just the opposite of most rear entry twisted vane S/C Installations.

The new owner bought Jerry out about 2010 timeframe. Not sure outside of keeping the name Magnuson Superchargers if the quality has changed much.

The older stuff was really good and made by Eaton Superchargers in Marshall, Michigan.
They have a nice S/C Engineering Center there.
