how can i find out the the wind speed of the turbo in mph from boost pressure. is there anyway to figure this out or no. thanks.

I guess the same way the weather man does. Finding a turbo, lubing and spooling it won't be easy after you get the equipment. Post what you find if you don't mind.

Not possible. Boost 'pressure' is just resistance to flow.

Unless you care to do the math from LBS per minute/hour + velocity into mph.

i was just wondering if they where related in anyway. thanks though.

they are BUT

velocity is a function of CFM and the internal area of the piping. smaller piping means higher velocities up until you reach critical speed for the area then you would be hard pressed to increase velocity.
