Here in Lugo there is a Perkins prima powered Santana. Owner is extreamly happy. Problem is that today parts are difficult to obtain.

I was thinking in a simple system. In fact just a tank with air at 10bar connected to a valve rated to 0.9 to 1 bar (100HP with that?) in the manifold. When switched whe will need to close the intake so the air will not go to the atmosphere through the snorkle.

25 litre tank will last about 30 seconds of "power".

I have read that the Bosch VE pump is automatically adjusted according to manifold pressure.

I have also seen an electric turbo in a Santana 88". Suposed to give an extra 7HP. Worked well.
