What would 20 lbs of boost from a stock turbo feel like?

Too bad it wont be under a load and wont be flowing the amount of air you want it to.
Lets say you fire it up with the IC removed so you can feel the air shooting. Now what? What was the point? Where do you go from there? Pop the valve covers off and push down on the rocker arms with your hands so you can feel how much force the pushrod has?
I guess I only care how fast the turbo is making my car move.
Like 6 years ago, there were these guys selling these small tubular electric superchargers. They could only sell to the import market (wonder why). They would gain like 6hp and would push like 1psi on a 4cyl. They had some videos showing the blower in action. That little blower, when aimed at a fireplace log...like those duraflame ones...it would take that log and throw it across the room like nothing. The amount of air we have to get the boost we have, would have to be pretty impressive.

Got take a Paxil or something.

It's called curiousity, the fact that you don't have any is great, go on with your bad self. I personally would like to know what the equivalent to 20 lbs of boost is, I merely used a stock turbo as reference since at one point of time all our cars had one.

On a side note, this board is THEE most uptight friggin board on the planet and there really is no reason for it.

yeah, but that's 150 psi coming out of an almost pinhole size outlet. Think about if it was 150 psi coming out of a coke can size hole...it would kill you, or at least try

Point is, a lot of pressure moving through a small hole doesn't account to much air. It's all about the volume and pressure. Blowing a 150psi air compressor into an engine's intake at WOT probably wouldn't even make a bump on the gauge...

Good points

Nice. Ya get your A-lic yet? I've got about 340 jumps. I just got my coach rating last year. We should start a sky dive thread. I'm guessing that most TB people are adrenaline junkies at hart. Theres got to be quite a few jumpers in this crowd.


Blue skys.
