Well, it was originally made in 1967, but it's more akin to Trigger's broom now

Damage it, repair it. EVERYTHING is available (for standard ones, at least).

You'll be telling me next there are more than 2 throttle positions (on and off!)

Pedants - on Torquecars? Surely not?
Well, I have heard whisperings that there is a mythical position that exists between ON and OFF. However, I have also heard that this strange area has to be entered by FWD drivers in order to stop their front wheels from spinning if they go straight to ON Others claim that, as ON and OFF are diametrically opposed states of being, they have to be kept apart by a substance known as Transversite, otherwise the unthinkable will happen; all cars would instantly be transformed into Auto FWD!!!
I must get out more.

Thats a really good idea glaymore. Any more details on how you created this setup and what you did to the 12 mpg air flow meter to get power?

That makes sense. Does the engine spin the supercharger when you are off boost and does this sap power?
