      ??? you cant hook two up in a row and make more pressure....the second fan would have to be spinning faster than the first...so then the first fan would be pointless.....and what would be the point of 1 psi...if your that desperate for more power theres two options: different caror turbo the thing...

      Leaf blowers will not work to any advantage, except create a lot of noise that makes you think you're going faster but you're not . In fact, that's what 99% of the so-called 'superchargers' you see on eb*y are when doing "aveo supercharger" in a search string. Electric powered motors need 5-6k watts of juice to do their job. There's only one practical electric supercharger in existence, made by Thomas Knight. You can do a search and find lots of info, and its easily installed on just about any car out there even if you don't have much in the way of mechnical skills. But there's big caveats, as electricity on vehicles cannot power such hungry beats for long periods of time, and it's expensive pushing near $2k. At that price you might find better options.

      and even with the thomas knight one you have to fill your trunk with batteries to power it so you just be adding a crap load of weight

      it's the 1.4l motor.




      Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far the wall moves after you hit it.
