cool concept i thought of.
 
ok guys. i know this isnt pratical but...

compress your intake with 120psi from a compressor. now u would have 2 intakes and a flapper valve. now when u hit your highest HP curve on the dyno u switch the car over to 120psi and see how high of a HP spike u can make. this would be interesting i think. lol
see how far u can shoot pistons.

If you could totally compress the intake with that 120 psi, it probably wouldnt do much. The CFM from a turbo is far greater than that of an air compressor. Boost doesnt blow motors, air volume blows motors.

A t25 at 25 psi is far less air than a T4 60-1 at 10 psi.
Something to think about when turbocharging a car.
