First off I need to apologize for my attitude, I was been dealing with a family member with mental illness all day yesterday, That family member didn't drive me nuts, but others did, by constantly defending their (patient) actions. I got to a point where where I was forced to disagre with everything, and that has carried over to this thread.

My position on bleeding off turbo air does still stand, however I still don't know about gasoline cars. I did a quick quasi experiment in the 89 last night (driving the car was like therapy for me) by blipping the throttle at 75 the manifold pressure will jump up to about 2 psi, this will obviously vary from vehicle to vehicle, but there is some pressure available. I almost wish I had FE instrumentation (and a map based ecu) to see what affect bleeding that air off would have.

As far as the venting of gasses out of the tail goes, that is definitely a proven method at high speeds, I'd be interested to see some results at highway speeds.

And another idea for a blower; A/C blower from junk yard.
