Well the two-cycle detroits have a "blower" (supercharger) mounted on
the side of the block being necessary for engine operation it looks
like something off the top of a dragster engine. But Detroits
terminology I'm really not familiar with. wether they are calling a
turbo a "blower" or not, or calling the supercharger a "blower". It
can be sort of confusing, or to me it is.

Tim:
I take it that when you say "blower" you are taking about a
turbocharger?

Not sure why the operator's manual and literature call it a "blower"
rather than a turgocharger. Looks like a turbocharger to me.
