Speaking of Santa Fe, that's where I live.  I've always referred to the
altitude here as a "reverse turbo". I suspect that if I could get the engine
power clear up to zero, (sea-level performance, that is) I'd be able to live
with the 2.1 WBX . I think 4 or 5 lbs. of boost would probably accomplish
that. Anybody know of a small supercharger system that would work in that
range -- and integrate with the fuel injection system? I can't see how that
would put more strain on the engine than running it at sea level without a
blower. Any ideas?
