I guess it might impress those that don't know any better.

This was the same type of set up (I doubt they used an Eaton brand blower) that the Lancia Delta S4 Group B rally car used.
Yes, that was long before Eaton got into superchargers. I think the Lancia Delta was the last of the 2wd rally cars before 4wd took over in the early '80's. Eaton didn't start producing superchargers until 1989 on the Ford Thunderbird Supercoupe.

The Delta S4 WAS an AWD Group B rally car, as was the Group A version Delta Intergrale after it.
You are thinking about the earlier, Group 4/B Lancia Rally 037, which was Volumex supercharged (don't know if that is the same type of system as the "Comprex wave" one you mentioned, Shannow??) rear wheel drive platform.
I owned a '90 Super Coupe, so yes, I know all about the Eaton blowers, and their very stinky, self contained, oil.

dailydriver,
here's a mention of it

IK must dig out my old "turbo australia" magazines, as there was a pretty detailed view of the Group B and 1.5 turbo formula 1s through the issues.
More on the Comprex
