You could, but there's a massive amount of unused energy flying out the exhaust... Why not use that to drive a GOOD turbocharger...
Why do you think Mercedes have sacked off their Kompressor Eaton blowers and are now producing the CGI engines - because the bigger Kompressor engines were needing 150hp JUST to drive the charger, a Turbocharger is nearly free...
A new generation turbo will give you a far greater performance improvement...
Before anyone says Rotrex, there's a very good reason they're not that useful on Diesels...
