Not to sound dumb but...I don't understand this part? Can this be expanded on a little?


Missed this one.

"Boost" is just a measurement of restriction/resistance.

To generate 100psi of "boost" you would need a HUGE impellar or a HUGE restriction.

Passing air through a stirring straw is a HUGE restriction for an engine. Therefore you could generate 100psi of resistance before the straw but flow maybe 1 CFM after it.

"Boost" numbers mean little to nothing without the information to generate airflow on a specific engine with a specific compressor driven by a specific turbine. Basically stated.
