Thanks for clarifying what I said up there^^^.

Question though, b/c you state that "regardless of how many turbos you use, the maximal amount of infill will only be however much exhaust gas the engine is putting out"

Is that in terms of CFM? B/c if you're referring to it that way, I don't believe it's correct. Simply b/c of the feedback loop idea. The turbo needs to constantly be taking in more than the engine is putting out, otherwise there can't be a spool effect.

This effect can be multiplied by messing with the turbo's compressor angle and sizing relative to the turbine size. IOW, for 200CFM of exhaust, 250CFM of intake might be generated.

Is this correct?
