We see the question, "How much boost can I run on this or that motor?" all the time.
BeyondloadedSE even recently added a section to the FAQ sticky regarding that 10psi from say a t-28 is drastically different from 10psi out of a gt-47.
This obviously comes down to the efficiency of the turbo. But what does that mean to someone new to the turbo world.
What makes some more efficient at different boost levels? I hope this discussion goes past referancing compressor maps and gets into a little physics.
What would cause IAT to be higher at a lower boost level? Or how is IAT constant at increased boost levels (up to a certain point)?
My increased curiosity was spawned when Nautilus' non-intercooled turbo had lower or equal IAT at 5psi than at 3-4psi.
I hope this thread can gather some quality information and if it does I would pear it down to include the most pertenant and have it made into another sticky or added to the FAQ sticky. I have some knowledge of the hows and whys posed above but want to try to gather more and better knowledge than I have in one place for the benefit of all.
