you lot just dont listen, you need one on the inlet blowing supercharged air into the motor and one on the exhaust sucking the gasses out, otherwise this will never work :wink:

100 quid now!! not bad if you can sell a 12V 12W 2 quid RS/Maplins motor and a bit of tube for 100 quid, looks like i am in the wrong game!!
