I found this on a 280ZX. It was mounted on the right side of the motor with a heater like duct going to the EFI piping. I guess it was to cool things off.

Looks like a hair dryer... Are you SURE it's an electric turbo? It doesn't seem like there'd be a point to having one...

I believe it is to cool the injectors? Don't quote me on that.

hmm, can I run my hair dryer on more than 10 psi or do I need a fuel management system?

dude, it's a wheel to get a little more gerbil power under the hood!

it looks kinda like a blower motor for a heater on an older car....

wait, didn't the EFI on the 280zx's get a little finicky with heat depending on year? it sounds familiar for some reason, like I read about it in random book or website...
