You'd need the air nozzle IN the housing though at just the right angle to the wheel, and probably need 2 or more to get enough air moving fast enough in there. I know little bits of water injected to the intake ports will spool a turbo up too, I was 'steaming' the carbon out of a Capri Turbo one time and everytime I'd dip into the water bottle to suck into the intake manifold the turbo would spool up some.

i'd be concerned about the sudden burst of compressed air pushing against the turbine blades, especially when the turbo has warmed up.

Compressed air is colder when released, and that would warp hot metal. Anyway, as I said in the post, I'm just relaying the story from an older drag racer friend. Not sure if it's true or not. -------------------- -Jay
