max boost at max flow/choke point is 2.2 bar (2.2 x 14.6 = 32 psi -14.6(atmospheric pressure) = 17.52 PSI BOOST at choke point)
once someone translates the map to either CFM or Lb/min and puts some efficiency % to the islands I can get as TECH as you want 
Anything missing? |
Two things:
- Firstly, I was the OP.
- We may be saying the same things here, but the key correction that's missing is efficiency. It may create 24.8psi of pressure, it's important to consider how much of that pressure is
heat and how much is actual
density gain. Also, we cannot dismiss the pressure drop across the intercooler.
In short, this information is
not suggesting that these turbos should be running at 24psi peak and 17 by redline. Peak efficiency is well below these figures.
