what the hell is one of those? Sounds like a flux capacitor. |

Lol no, if anything at all they would make the spool up slower, and be a air restrictor :) |

mmm a flux capacitor... where can you get one of those? b2f race industries? will my car run off of an old banana skin, and a coke can?

why dont you test it without one on a rolling road, then fit one and get it tested again the same day if possible. (i dont know what they are) |

The idea is to get the air to swirl in the same direction as the turbo goes, so it doesn't have to do as much job. Essentially just makes it harder for it, it's like going upstream a river with a propelled engine :)

Our turbo machines use a similar principle, which starts the gas rotating before it enters the eye of the wheel. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

That's interesting. But surely to make the air change direction requires energy, so it needs to save more than it takes to get it turning.

Any decent medium/large compressor (and pumps as well) use inlet guide vanes to shape the flow path into the impellor wheel(s). But I think there is quite a difference between doing the flow shaping right next to the compressor wheel/impellor compared to a mile away down a piece of pipe. Interesting article here in relation to turbocharger compressors... http://ww1.cnam.fr/turbomachines-moteurs/p.../pdf/EUROT5.PDF Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

Similar system are used in 'dusty' countrys to separate dust from the intake air, sort of a centrifugal pre-filter :) [X] nail here for new monitor |
