"Bigger turbos will produce more power with less boost, this is a function
of lower intake temps and higher rates of CFM"

How can you increase cfm in a non-variable volume without increasing
pressure/boost?  I can see how a non-turbulent, laminar flow would increase
intake temperatures at a slower rate than a thresshing turbine/non-laminar
flow, and hence the lower intake temperature, but I don't understand how
less boost can give more CFM given the volumetric constraints.  Sure,
turbulence is going to be a loss in energy with a result in increased
temperature.  However, would the pressence of turbulence actually increase
the pressure?  If anything, it seems turbulence would increase pressure on a
micro scale, but not the macro scale (ie by the turbo, but not futher up the
intake path), and hence over the system, averaged as a whole, there would be
no net increase in "boost."  Or is this a case of a chain and it's weakest
link; ie the place with the highest localized pressure (a venturi?) will
limit the overall pressure/flow of the system?  If so, then boost would be
lowered as would flow.  Am I mincing words?

As a typical DP aside, also notided when I was at the Smithsonian that
"pumps" used on rockets look an awful lot like turbos.  "What is the deal
with that?"

Taka,  would you go thru that rational again, maybe in a little more detail
and with some justification.
