If I may. Saverio may be able to shed additional light on this subject, but to my knowledge, this CAC product can be applied to any combustion engine that is turbo-charged, whether diesel or natural gas or whatever fuel. It is air-management as opposed to fuel management. I have based my information on both research on Turbo-charge industry and research into ATF technology. I have not researched the Westport product yet. cheers.

this might help Idea of super charge principle is to get more air into the engine cylinders without increasing their size (ie engine size) Super chargers compress air slightly so it gets warm . so in order to get even more air into the engine we cool the air and increase its density. in other words it shrinks in volume with cooling. More air increases fuel burning efficiency or we can then put in more fuel for more power. this idea has been around for some time now on agricultural equipment simply because we found more power etc at night when the air was cooler. International harvester had at least one engine with this idea. In my opinion (without any direct experience other than diesels) this should work with all turbo-ed engines simply put, you gets faster horses in the same size body. with less oats. what we have here is a refinement of all this. my opinion is that few diesels will be changed to propane. the real question is of course can the company make tons of money selling these things? good luck to all
