I've not driven a vehicle with a turbocharger on it, so my question(s) is/are ......... How are the turbos set up to run? Do they have a waste gate to dump excess pressure. Will they maintain sea level manifold pressure at altitude, or are they set up to just boost pressure for more HP from a small engine at sea level and simply fade with altitude. Curious minds .................. etc, etc, etc.! Regards, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver |
