Unlike the bypass valve, here we don't have enough in the equation, sir.
 Here, we need Flow and Pressure and Temp.  Got Pressure.  Without Flow and
Temp, how did you get the "50% efficient"?  Care to share the test method for
that?  How does one come to that efficiency number, professor?  So you flowed
what CFM at what Pressure and what Temp?  How was that extrapolated to an
efficiency rating?  Before and after temps at the IC IN the car, actual vs
calculated?  Which turbo did you use to get the actual numbers?  Which car
did you measure the numbers from. What numbers did you get to give you the
55% efficiency.  Given the baseline understanding of turbocharger theory
proposed by you, with all do respect professor, some here would like to see
HOW you got the numbers you did.  Assuming the numbers correct (giving the
benefit of the doubt), a few of us in Lab 101, could do the same test with
the same methods and get the same numbers.  Don't mind results, happy to
accept them, some method might be nice to make sure we are all looking at the
same experiment.  Thanks for sharing your answers, how bout the homework to
get them?

"Can be"....  Well an IC "CAN BE" over 100% efficient, so I have no problem
with that statement.  That I interpret as your CLAIM TO your car.  How bout
being specific to WHAT you have?  I make the assumption that <1> and <2> to
be the CLAIM, though NOT the statement, please do clarify.  No one should
disagree to the "Can Be".  Question: IS this the claim of WHAT you have, or a
recitation.  Are we talking the "can be" applied to Air to Air OR Water to
Air?  We could apply some basics to each of those theories too.  IF A2A, just
how big is this super IC?  .4 at 20psi, what is it AT 26psi (YOUR CLAIM) or
even 22psi (2.5bar PT)?  Care to share Efficiency "ratings and evaluations"
with the rest of the class?

I don't assume a zero loss intake system...  In fact, if you look at the
HPGains program it does, my math or Dave's don't.  Let's put this statement
here in perspective to the CLAIMS made.  If the above is true, you saying
that the ACTUAL PR of your 2.8 (measured at intake) is HIGHER before the IC
(hey that's MY claim)?  From your own post here it seems that it is AT LEAST
26.4 before the IC. What is it?  

More questions to the claims made.  We DON'T have a baseline here.  Given the
history, maybe a better idea than looking for an "A" in putting numbers up.  

With all due respect to the pitch of the prop.
