larger supercharger, new rotor design that is comparable to a turbo in performance.

Brian,
I hope this isn't too off topic but wondering if you know if Magnuson ever considered a composite manifold base? I could see where there might be some material strength issues due to the need to support blower drive. But just wondering if there are any other WOW goodies coming from Magnuson that you can comment on...
Thanks,
Bill

Yes, they have considered it, but for a boosted application it was given the thumbs down. Not to mention cost of tooling and manufacturing was a bit higher for the shorter runs.
As for the WOW goodies, there is ALOT going on but I would have to kill you if I told you

Easier to cut and paste than try to explain:

Eaton’s new Twin Vortices Series (TVS) is a roots-type supercharger for a variety of engine applications that delivers more power and better fuel economy in a smaller package, for uncompromising, high-performance driving.
The TVS supercharger’s patented design features four-lobe rotors and high-flow inlet and outlet ports that greatly enhance thermal efficiency, deliver higher volumetric capacity, and enable higher operating speeds. The TVS supercharger is capable of running with a high thermal efficiency (up to 76 percent) across a very wide operating range.
The improvements incorporated into the TVS design allow for the use of a smaller supercharger, reducing the package size and weight of the system. The sizes range from 350cc to 2300cc per revolution, and cover engines from 0.6 liter up to large displacement V-engines. All TVS superchargers have a 2.4 pressure ratio capability and a thermal efficiency that exceeds 70 percent, which enables more compact packaging and greater output.
The twin four-lobe rotors feature 160-degree twists. The higher helix angle of the rotors coupled with a redesigned inlet and outlet ports, improves the TVS’s air-handling characteristics without increasing the overall size of the unit. The TVS improved noise and vibration characteristics eliminate additional noise-reduction treatments, complexity and system cost.
The TVS sets a new standard of boosting device performance and reaffirms Eaton’s leadership in the performance automotive market!
