I agree I think it's got a lot of potential.

I'd worry about adding more stuff to the system. When I had batteries, charger, Unichip, Brushless controller, motor/compressor my engine bay was starting to get very crowded and a mess of wires and connections. It offended my brains sense of tidiness a bit, not to mention the added weight.

A lot of this could be solved by moving the power system to the trunk as some have with the Phantom ESC.

I just personally love clean and simple and if it grows into too much of a beast my practical side would rather just have a conventional supercharger. (Not that it would stop me from trying it just for curiosity sake)
