I'd be curious to see what the ford charger would do with the gate wired shut. I know it made a difference in a friends truck from just being unhooked to being anchored shut. The WG was being blown open by drive pressure fairly early and made response somewhat laggy. With it tied shut, the charger would light much faster and would produce more boost (obviously).
In theory, the ATS/Ford charger is slightly larger then an HX35W holset. The hx35 is pretty efficient around 18-25psi and doesn't really become a big heat pump until over 30psi. So.. one would think that with the gate anchored shut or an adjustable boost controller on it.. running at 18-20psi, it would still be fairly efficient and would probably outperform the Banks. (again, I'm assuming the Banks size as I have no actual specs on the charger... I'd venture to say it's a good bit smaller then the Ford/ATS unit)
Has anyone ever seen actual compressor maps for these chargers? Would be pretty easy to see how each would perform that way. Could also incorporate charge cooling and see the difference it would make (on paper anyways).
