Message: [QUOTE="Chvyrkr, post: 299976, member: 169"] Well... I'm not physicist, but it's always been my understanding that gas and liquids behave very similarly under pressure. (Here's where an engineer jumps in to tell me I'm FOS) If you have something under a steady state of pressure, and it has one large vent (turbine wheel), then entire volume area under pressure (manifolds and up-pipes) should be under equal pressure, right? As pressure climbs and forces an additional vent, because it has become to high to maintain flow through the designated path, I'm sure there'll be a momentary dip in BP in that up-pipe. But, the turbine/turbine wheel is still forcing pressure back to make this happen, and the gasses are going to follow the path of least resistance. Which, if my half thought out theory is correct, means that some will bleed over at the end of the divider, at the turbine wheel, causing pressure in the other up-pipe to equalize, at least somewhat. Now that I've typed it, I'm not as confident in the theory. But, if it were liquid, I'm fairly certain you'd run into this. Say two rivers hit one dam, the dam having a spillway. The river on the right has an additional smaller spillway around the dam, the river on the left does not. When the flow of the river on the left combined with the remaining flow from the right hand river becomes to much for the spillway built into the dam, the volume of both rivers at the dam will equalize, as water from the left congests the right... I dunno. Right now it seems a whole lot easier to pull the EGT probe outa the drivers manifold and take a reading from there, and the stock EBPS port in the passenger side lol. [/QUOTE]
