I was sitting in chem 201 today and I was thinking about Boyle's gas law, I think that's the one where gas speeds up when trying to move through a smaller space? Well what if there was a down pipe that had a small insert in the pipe right after the turbo, kind of like a silencer on an exhaust but not as narrow, that would cause the exhaust gases to speed up through the pipe therefore pulling more air through the pipe faster causing faster spool which would allow the turbo to get to full boost faster? I was just thinking about it and it might be total garbage but I was just wondering, so please don't flame me if I am wrong. What do you guy/girls think?

Doesn't work like that. Velocity changes after the neckdown due to the pressure increase and resulting velocity slowdown before the blockage. It would hurt spool.
 
that is actually what the turbine wheel in the exhaust side of the turbo does anyway... to try to squeeze it out anymore would be pointless cuz then you may well have higher velocities and exhaust pressures, but you would have a much lower volume of air flow, and the extra constriction would rob power from your engine due to what suicidal was saying.. that shows that your thinking though
 
Read up on a little diddy called the Scavenging Effect.

What you're saying has merit - on an N/T, that theory works great. On a turbocharged car, the turbo provides so much backpressure that trying to scavenge air past it is difficult, if not impossible.

I think you'd better not have a test this week. That's Bernoulli's.
And if you see a Tornado infomercial coming on late-night TV, turn it off immediately or you're going to be out $50.
 
Well I said that I wasn't sure about the law, but I was just thinking. And was does a tornado have anything to do with the exhaust, not being smart just wondering. I thought that a tornado was what goes on past the throttle body to space it out, I know that wont help on our cars or at least that is what I have heard. I was just wondering, I did not think about the "compressor" part of the turbine. I stupid right. Just a thought though. Thanks for setting me straight. :thumb:
 
its ok, it was a very good question.

but you forget the number 1 enemy for turbo's are backpressure. its one thing to be forcing air in one side(intake side), its another thing to be forcing air on the intake side and also fighting itself on the exhaust side.

this is why full 3" turboback exhausts make such a huge difference.
