[Vwdiesel] super charging a diesel

[Shawn Wright]

Don't waste your time on it. It is a gimmick. A friend had one on his 16V 
Suzuki Swift, and the fan came apart, sending pieces into the intake. End 
result - pull the head, rebuild it, replace one mashed piston, etc. A very 
expensive way to find out the thing does nothing more than a free breathing 
intake can do safely.
