You're still wrong.
Take it to a pm and explain yourself. Well argue there.
You're still wrong.
Every turbo has a compressor map that details it's CFM (lb/min) per it's design.
When the boost gauge is showing 30psi, that's a measure of pressure (restriction) at the intake.
CFM is the real winner though (the measure of volumetric flow) when it comes to comparing turbo's on the same engine at the same boost (psi, pressure). A larger turbo flows more CFM at the exact same pressure because it's a better compressor, by efficiency.
By being able to do the same amount of work with less introduction of heat, it has essentially made a denser charge and flows more CFM at the exact same pressure (boost,psi). It has also done this with less back pressure on the shaft and once again free'd up more power.
I'll take it.
However. Line pack is still line pack. Hot or cold. You would need a hug intake air temperature swing to be that much more efficient a loss of 5 psi. This is a direct result in loss of back pressure on the exhaust manifold. He's no longer leaving 55 psi in the crown of the piston. He's only leaving (he didn't say, but less)
It's the same thermal equation we use on the pipeline to determine line pack at our current psi of 1200. Soil to pipe temp readings make a difference in it. Cooler gas more pack.
But hey... if he say it's more efficient and flows more I'll just go with it. He's the one doing the testing. Just throwing some food for thought out there.
At least he is testing the differences other than most companies that just throw a turbo on the market with no testing just youtube videos and a post or two that says it pulled my gooseneck good!!
