$499 on special! Not bad, Also it uses a Boost solenoid type MAC valve

If funds suffice i will experiment with this...BUT ultimately for my goals with the Drag Project NOS is Going to be superior, I have to have it on board for the Extra power on the run so might as well use a shot to spool up quicker.

 

Anyone else going to invest...Jamie?

:think:can someone please explain the physcis behind this, i have not a clue how that works?

i thought that getting the exhaust gas out quicker would spool faster not closing it off!

 

It would spool faster if the Outlet (After exhaust turbine) was bigger.

 

The theory is that as long as the Chamber is not totally maxed out on flow already (Which it wouldn't be at Spool revs) It speeds up the exhaust gasses flow to make the turbo's Turbine spin faster.

When the Turbo has a divided Exhaust housing it affectively has 2 oblong ports for the gasses to enter. Because the Rear Opening forces the gasses onto the larger veins of the Impeller it affectively has more Ability to push it around harder. Imagine the Impeller like a adjustable gear wheel..The smaller it is the harder is is to move it, The bigger the easier...simple physics...Leverage! But it gets to a point where once spun up the smaller parts of the impeller blades can take over to affectively "Gear up" the impeller, making it spin even faster whilst allowing full flow.

 

Newer Turbo technology have Variable Vein Turbo's which is affectively what this creates. my Daily Driver 2001 Audi 2.5TDI Allroad uses a Variable vein turbo and is on full boost which equals Torque (Real power) @1.2Bar and 1400rpm.

It's like sticking your thumb over the end of a hose pipe, same amount of water coming out, just under high pressure. This principle would spool the turbo faster. Then when more exhaust gas comes out of the engine at higher RPMs, the valve opens up.
