Its not super charged because for starters the hose that comes out of the smog pump only gose to the left carb and not the right. It should be a sealed system so there wouldn't be that style air filter on the carbs.

I wish the message would get through, but there are a few hanging on to a glimmer of hope that these are, or can be used as a supercharger on a VW. Maybe they have a few in the shed, and are waiting to cash in on them.

There is yet another one on E-bay right now claiming to be a 1940-50's VW supercharger that is worth $2000.00.

I don't think anyone doubts that.........but they are not a supercharger for a VW. They never have been, and never will be.

I live an a pretty windy area, and sometimes just the wind blowing against the carb side of my mower will rev it up a little. I wonder what a steady 4psi would do.  |

Yeah, but getting his mates to bid on it so he doesn't look like a fool, doesn't count.
