Hice why they have bov's the speed doesnt slow down as the engine does but only spins as fast as the crank does proportionatly to the pulley size so 8k rpm could be doubled or tripled to 1800rpm or 27000 rpm most trurbso rusn at 15000 rpm so yes a centrifugal blower does have a place onm 4cyls the only sif differencein the two is the type of drive system the belt style just takjes awa y from the power of the engine overall as teh turbine uses wasted power. so here again its the same thing !
yes 200 lb ft is a good tq figure for a 4 cyl, and if coupled to a close ratio tranny, and used for a road course it could show its worth. but regardless it is not a good straight-liner unless you have lots of open space like for a top speed run. it is proportional to the engine speed as it is driven directly off the motor itself (no shit based on a ratio of crank pulley to blower pulley). the whole purpose of the bov on centrifugal is because they are run prior to the tb, and you could run a waste gate to regulate pressure as well if you are concerned with overboosting. you are contradicting yourself... and again get off the name issue, you're like a born again gear head who found jesus in the dictionary.
