New Turbo Ideas!
I was watching "Two Guys Garage" and they featured a new turbo set-up that locates the turbine/compressor in the BACK of the car. They say that with the increased distance from the engine to the turbo, everthing runs cooler; turbine is cooler thus transfers less heat to the intake air, and you don't cook the oil either. They also claim there is no additional turbo-lag since it is a positive displacement(?) system since the whole thing is pressurized.
There is more info on these sites. Check them out! http://www.twoguysgarage.com/thisweek/ http://www.ststurbo.com/

Actually if you search you will find at least 2 other threads about this style turbo.

There is gonna be some turbo lag. Not only is there going to be lag on the compressor side, but there will also be lag on the turbine side.

While this method might work with smaller turbos and larger engines, the efficiency losses make this seriously infeasable for smaller engines and any kind of decently sized turbo.
The colder exhaust due to the distance from the engine and the huge length of boost piping required will murder turbo efficiency and create a ton of lag over a properly configured turbocharger setup. |
