A 4.5 litre Supercharged Bentley was a Blower Bentley.
Skip & Lynne, you're a bit off-target!
Blower = Supercharger since the days long before turbos - ask me, I remember.
 
I bolted this twinscrew Autorotor up last night. There's an air to water intercooler between the compressor and the intake manifold. I wish you see how exquisite this piece is made, it's like automotive jewelery. I should have most of the installation done by this coming weekend.

Ahhhhhhhhh Roger I do remember; I used to have a 66 Cessna 310 with manual wastegates, it was so nice to get up to around 12,000 ft and then open the wastegates and watch the manifold pressure come back to me. I sure would hate to feed that thing in this day and time.
