For those of you that really don't care and or don't have a clue as to what I am refering to...

I am the ONLY and ORIGINAL internet TurboniAm ... but some people can't think of their own SN, so they have to copy others! Right RYAN or should I say TurboniUm!

Here's some other close copycats

TurboniEm
TurboniOm
etc
etc
etc

Feel free to locate identical tatoos on your body that you copied from me!

I would just like to point out my Dad has been using the word turboniam since I was at least 10

So about a year then? Thats how long this guy has been registered on here.

Those air particles in turn move the air particles around them, carrying the pulse of the vibration through the air as a traveling disturbance."

Sound waves are vibrations. The vibrations move the air particles, which make them closer or further apart...that's the "compression" and "decompression" you are talking about. Compressed air in a turbo is not the same thing. If you made a sealed room and dropped the air pressure, it wouldn't make a sound just because the air pressure changed.

no, of course it wouldnt. for sound to be heard, it must be air pulsating in compressed and decompressed waves from 20 to 20000 hz.

and since you quoted it, i will too.

"In this way, a vibrating object sends a wave of pressure fluctuation through the atmosphere. When the fluctuation wave reaches your ear, it vibrates the eardrum back and forth. Our brain interprets this motion as sound. We hear different sounds from different vibrating objects because of variations in:


Sound-wave frequency - A higher wave frequency simply means that the air pressure fluctuates faster. We hear this as a higher pitch. When there are fewer fluctuations in a period of time, the pitch is lower.

Air-pressure level - This is the wave's amplitude, which determines how loud the sound is. Sound waves with greater amplitudes move our ear drums more, and we register this sensation as a higher volume. "

i went ahead and used bold tags to show the important parts.

anyways, im still curious about your mach 0.5 thing. explain rear windows of corvettes shattering from their windows being open at a couple hundred miles an hour. explain parachutes working at a mere 120 miles per hour. explain why cars moving at 70mph have huge pockets of vacuum behind them. explain why race cars use undercarriage louvres to create vacuum on the underside to create downforce if it has to be moving 300 miles an hour to do so.

after you're done trying to shoot all those down, go ahead and prove us all wrong. take a sensitive boost gauge, attach it to a vacuum line that in turn attaches to the nozzle of a traffic cone airtight, and the cone outside of your window. tell us how much boost you can build. at 70mph.

i'm about to give up. all those things happen cuz theres a constant pressure pushing against a wide surface. this is kind of hard to explain and it is reversed, but say that air flowing into the rear windshield of a vette is like the turbo sucking in air--bare with me for a minute. if you had something powerful enough to blow the air coming at the windshield away from the windshield, it would not shatter at the speed it would normally shatter--it would take more pressure to shatter it. that is air pushing. now air sucking is the opposite. if you have something pushing air into a turbo that is sucking in air, it would have to make spool time faster. mach .5 is most likely exaggerating, but i wouldn't be able to go fast enough to notice a difference in the spool time. even if there could be a significant increase at 120mph or something, your turbo is already spooled anyway. so, again, the "ram air" theory is for the most part useless for our cars.

Maybe you could use something like this:

And then make an extension that goes to where the old SMIC was, and have an air filter on the end of the extension. You would have to have a short route IC piping to make it work though. Just have a 90 degree bend that goes down into the fender area ( where the SMIC was ) and there should be plenty of cool air for the turbo.

Just a thought....
