Please DO NOT Post In The General Section
From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.
The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.
For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.
Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.
Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

new mini cooper s
people add a small turbo to the equation and run total 25 psi over atmospheric pressure of 14psi. when air leaves which ever component is first it is already compressed, so when it gets compressed more it follows an exponential function another words a turbo has to do same amount of work to make 0psi into 5 psi as to make 10 psi into 18 psi.h23a3 cb7 turbo sold

I never called anything "ghetto rigged" im actually apalled that you assumed that. its kinda like a twin turbo setup. same basic principle. hey, lets put a small turbo on that will provide great low end, but wheeze out on the top end, and compensate for the top end with a big turbo. great idea right? well then why isnt it kept when the cars are modified? because a single turbo is far more efficient and allows for higher hp numbers in the end.

Originally posted by 92HondaEXI really wanna get a small turbo to put on a riding mower, no seriously.....I'm not joking.....for real.....:-D
I've been looking for a small one for a mower too.
I think it is neat what they did there I just see it as a waste. It's true that they could have gone with just one bigger one, even two medium ones.
It's unique but aside from the novelty of having a quad turbo I don't see the whole purpose.
Whatever floats your boat though.

it's also 4 turbos on a relatively small engine. that stuid bugatti veyron must have 4 huge turbos for that huge 16 cyl engine. but 4 in a small 4 banger....i don't think it'd take much to spool em no matter what size they were. it's tight compression, it's not like it's in a 35 litre engine where it takes a lot to build up more pressure. it's high prssure low volume, just like you can pump and super narrow 700X20c tour de france type road bike tire up to 160psi in a much lesser number of pumps that it would take to pump a huge downhill bike's 26"X 3" tire to a measily 30psi. (bicycles i'm talking)
