Re: discuss

depending on where its located i would thing it does not have enough heat and will take for ever to spool, but then again corvettes usually do rear mounted turbos so i dont know looks cool

Heat doesnt spool the turbo... I dont understand why people think this.

Why do you think it doesn't?

Because it doesnt.

Heat does help maintain velocity on a certain level, but the force of expanding gases (and thereby the process of the gasses cooling) is what spools and maintains turbine shaft speed.

Turbo bolted to exhaust manifold > remote mount because not much time for exhaust to slow in that distance. Doesnt mean remote mount wont work, just doesnt work as well.

Re: discuss

you got it backwards, gas DECREASES in volume when it cools.

Re: discuss

Hitch, look at a basic thermodynamics text book section on turbines. The power output is a function of the enthalpy of the gas. Obviously velocity is a factor too, but you can't say that heat doesn't help spool a turbo.
