Like i said ... drag of turbo is like a muffler if anything.. so delete a catalytic converter (rear one) when you install turbo.. offset Mechanical efficiency.

And I'm never refering to POSITIVE PSI.....

Only vacuum....

Small turbo at 18 inHg vs N/A at same 18 inHg .. thought turbo would do better.

(I've adjusted my thinking now)
