Hello Alex, Wayne is right in theory boosting the intake pressure will work to increase power, but I have found out it is not that simple. [Vesa.Mikkonen@ekomobiili.fi](mailto:Vesa.Mikkonen@ekomobiili.fi) Vesa has turbocharged woodgas successfully,he also had a book with quite a lot of detailed instructions and gasifier plans, very good reading and instructions !! My attempt was not so great, my truck has an inline 6cyl 300 cid pretty heavy truck 3/4 ton, I was already getting 55-65 mph with woodgas, without a blower and was just curious if it could be made to run 75mph so I added a Buick M60 supercharger, and got 5lbs boost, resized the gasifier 25%. Now on gasoline this truck will fly!! On woodgas not so good about 45mph, so I exchanged the 1 5/8 in pully with a 3in one and now am getting 55-60 mph so the woodgas was too weak ,and am considering going back to the naturally asperated setup.( like Wayne said, much simpler and still works well) I am sure it will work, but havent figured it out , I hope this helps if you do go with boosting the woodgas I would like to see it working. 🙂 ![image](https://dow.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/e/e/eeefdf24d02f1806aeb4666e3a51d4661c7bd4ce.jpeg) ![image](https://dow.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/5/b/5b9299f798015cebfc53bc231c82160100defd02.jpeg) --- _[View the full topic](http://forum.driveonwood.com/t/forced-induction/6081)._
