Ok. That's what I figured.
I had spoken to Thomas Knight the other day ( the guy that has successfully made a electric roots blower ) and he was telling me that he uses a larger compressor wheel modified for the housing so he can spin it at what the motor is capable so it may be 4x as large as what would normally be used but spinning 4x as slow as a typical turbo to get the pressure needed ( something like that. not actual true specs). I think having the electric drive with no lag issues and coming on so early in the rpm band throws away traditional needs to be conservative on wheels sizes. I wonder if a different wheel can be used in this system to get the extra air needed if so desired.
I also don't really know what I'm talking about, just really reading to learn and throwing ideas out there.
