for fun here peeps


if you had persure gauge monted were you waste gate is and one at intake manfold and inter coller between them

whould they be the same and if not why not

Are you talking about a pressure gauge on the waste gate signal feed line directly from the turbo compressor? If anything, the pressure would be less at the manifold than at the turbo compressor. Air loses pressure when it is cooled down. I doubt it's very much of a loss though.

Pressure at the turbo is considerably higher than at the manifold. One of the local guys was running his GTE in a pickup truck without the IC - pushing from the turbo straight into the intake. I seem to recall he was getting about 13 psi where we normally get 7.

It depends on the efficiency of your setup. Plumbing design, intercooler, manifold design, ect. But there will ALWAYS be pressure loss to some degree.

now was that from the lack of volume or more of just the cool down


i was told that cfm is more importaint then just the cooling afect that is gives off cause the trubo will still regulate the persure

 

[blackout_89t]

It is pressure loss from moving the air from point A to point B through the bends of the tubing/intercooler. You can calculate a rough estimate of what the pressure loss is for your setup through the tubing and then add the pressure loss of the IC if you can get data from the IC manufacturer.
