What is a "high to low pressure charge pipe "? And on your vehicle page... are you really looking for a steam power generator? This is one of those unique builds on this site. Amazing car.

Thanks!!! Body and Paint is one of those things that came very natural to me.
I'm very happy with the way it turned out. But it could have been a whole lot better. The car had a very rough life early on when it was new. The drivers side quarter was hit pretty good and the floor in the trunk area still shows sign of it being on a frame machine with a few light wrinkles. But if it was a nice car to begin with I probably wouldn't have cut the holes in the back and made it a mid-mount turbo compound system. lol
The high to low pressure charge pipe is a pipe that connects the big turbo's or "low pressure mid mount turbo's" outlet to the high pressures inlet.
So the big turbo is feeding the small turbo.
This makes the engine with the small turbo think its way below sea level. It also makes the big turbo think its feeding a engine that's twice the size or bigger depending on the boost level.
One thing I have with my car is a ton of heat. So I started pondering what if I could make a small steam generator close loop system and generate a small amount of electricity to help with the charging system. I was talking to a local guy that plays with steam engines and he said could help me or even make on for me. So I took him up on it.
