Axial compressors take several more stages to get the boost of a single stage centrifugal compressor. I seriously doubt the claim of 5 psi out of a hobbie ducted fan.

i've got a 27t motor in a 1994 mod motor can (magnets mainly) and i'm pulling 75mph in a road car.

no joke, ill fix the steering and get a vid when i find a big enough parking lot
