Re: pics of my 65$ ebay FMIC
let me do jd's work here. i remember he posted this in a thread a few months ago and so i dug it up:
1) There are two kinds of energy transfer: radiation, and convection.
- Radiation is where a subatomic particle carries energy, such as a photon (light), electron (ion), etc. Typically highly charged subatomic particle. Radiation can travel across a vacuum, such as sunlight across the solar system.
- Convection is where an actual atom/molecule absorbs heat/energy from rubbing (friction) against another atom/molecule.
2) Radiation is not what is happening in your IC.. therefore it is convection. By definition, this is a product of friction between the charge flowing through your IC and the IC itself. The more friction, the more heat is transferred out of the charge and into the IC.
So, yeah, you want to cool the intake charge, or do you want to worry about a pressure drop you'd never bother to measure anyway? Next thing you're going to tell me hp per psi is important.

Mr.Davis was correct again
Oh and there turbo's are 99 percent sure the same low quality stuff from China
Im sorry all you guys are cheap but go to the yards and find some good rebuilt stock turbo's or spend the cash on a brand that is proven
