Good point.

Surely the compressor is boosting at full boost when the engine is required to make full power anyway so it's hard to see how it can make any more power than standard.

I think it keeps it spinning at all at all speeds so that even at lower revs it provides more boost then its supposed to.

Which will increase torque across the rev range, but no more peak power as it will be at full boost then anyway.

Ps. I am in agreement with you, just explaining the effect.

Yes that seems logical but they claim 50bhp increase on peak bhp which I dont understand. This is their performance ack for the M271

I have driven Grav's E55 with a sprint booster.

Gulp, unreal and a real issue if you value your license

. One word says it all, awesome. Buy one untested and untried, you will not regret it.
