I know this may sound crazy so I we need someone to tell me this just to confirm that I am indeed crazy, mounting a turbo on the engine that would not put a single CFM into the engine, it would just put air out the back of the car? Some of the turbos out there put out over 750CFM, if there is no waste gate on this turbo and it developed say 30psi of boost, that is 750CFM going out the back of the car in the dead air zone, I think that it would smooth out the back aero of the car. The added bonus of this would would be the amazing whine the turbo would make going down the road.  |
Since the turbo is not an "over-unity"device,it cannot derive more energy from the exhaust than is contained in the exhaust.Simply allowing the tailpipe to "blow-down" into the wake,would maximize any "thrust" available.
