Boost Options
I asked this question early when I first started getting into diesels, never really got an educated answer. Maybe someone here can help explain a little better.
For creating boost, it just compressing air into the engine using a turbo. Why not use something like an onboard compressor? Using an electronic pressure regulator to give boost just like a turbo. It's instant boost. Only problem I see with the set-up is turbos probably last longer than brushes in a motor and compressors build up moisture. I don't see why you couldn't add an in-line condenser?? And if the compressor goes out, then you are just without boost....not sucking up oil. Or even using something like a blower Electric Turbo Boost Air Intake Supercharger 240SX Neon - eBay (item 280641275428 end time Mar-11-11 07:06:51 PST)
I'm sure there is a reason why it hasn't been done...just not sure why  Probably a far-fetched cray idea
