You really need hot expanding gas to power the turbine.
This comes from burning fuel & air.
Small load = small volume of exhaust = low boost


I still stand by what i said - you need EXPANDING gas to power the turbine. The fact that it is hot is just a sad but inevitable result of the inefficiency of the combustion process. You don't NEED hot gas, but to get expanding gas, hot is what you get.

now where did i put that bottle of ideal gas to use in my adiabatic process :?: :roll:

ah there it is, next to the perpetual motion machine :wink:

ok, so after all the debate over what each item does, the next logical question is how much will they cost? is it worth it? can you beat the pants off those smart ass grannies in their 1980's pulsars?

With a supercharger, you could match it with them in the straights
With a turbo (and some of Kazjims knowhow) you could leave them for dead :D




we all know they can't match a mini in the corners :wink:

Exhaust side of turbo (and cast ex manifolds on all other cars too) is usually cast iron, not mild steel.... :wink:
