Stupid Turbo Question

Sonics2042 · 06-24-2002, 05:44 PM

Hey,

Was just thinking about it, and how are they NON-TT turbos setup? How do they work? Do both exhaust manifolds combine into the same turbo? If so, how efficient is that?!

Thanks,
DoranW

The single turbo setup has a header on one side which feeds into a crossover pipe. The opposite side of the motor has a larger manifold which the crossover feeds into. Both sides are then directed into the turbo.

How efficient? Well, if the properly sized turbo and piping are used, it is very efficient.
