Re: Turbo Theories



  Frank,

  Great description of the theory behind the "flame thrower" exhaust
  effect! I think he's got it!

  I have a question about the operation of the WG, however. Does the WG
  really open during closed-throttle situations? I had thought that the WG
  sensed the pressure level in the intake manifold, between the throttle
  plate and the intake valves. It this is so, then the intake manifold
  would be under vacuum and not boost during closed-throttle situations,
  and the WG would not open. Only if the WG senses the pressure between the
  compressor and the throttle plate would the WG open during
  closed-throttle situations.

  Comments?  (as if I had to ask :)
