Pick up the book
Maximum Boost: Designing, Testing and Installing Turbocharger Systems. by Corky Bell.
It is incredibly detailed and very informative and pretty cheap. There is a lot of engineering, physics, and math principles and explanations which are helpful but still pretty simple.

Ya. I agree. Most people basically know how a turbo system works (overstatement?) But it is informative about how a systems efficiency can be maximized. That's basically why I recommend it. It is a.good next step.

there was a guru, making his own stuff within a human comprehended realm. The market today no doubt buried his realm...it is much easier than jerks with a big bank loan and cnc machine let on about.
blo thru, non-injection, turbo or supercharge... anybody can do anything. too much has a means to go away, not enough is not enough.
it is beyond liking the thought of carbed cammed blo-thru. it still has the world record.. in a mustang. the realtime thoughts have no think, they have direct driven action.

I'd fall asleep reading.

I have never understood a single one of your posts ever. Not to be an ass or anything. I just can't follow what you say.
