You think the control system Is hard..... but boost and airflow will come easy.
A Vortech blower moving 750 cfm at 1.7 bar takes 40 hp to turn it. Convert that to electrical draw and tell me how soon you think it will happen.

no you misunderstand me. i agree that the mechanical challenges are far more difficult to overcome, and that the control is the easy part. my point is just that better hardware is an eventuality, and the rate of development in the field suggests that it may come sooner rather than later. do it once and do it right. if there were no other benefits (short and long term) to an intelligent control strategy, then i would side with you on this one, but there are in my opinion.
btw i have sitting next to me an 11hp brushless motor that is smaller than a beer can. i run it on a battery i can charge at 5-10c. it's not that far off, especially if you're willing to pay for it.
