Yea once the engine reaches operating temp. Any attempt to cool the charge air with a intercooler will be lost when the air inters the intake manifold. I have taken the temp of the compressor housing and discharge hose on my truck on a hot summer day. About 105 outside. The tube was running 128...

Scoob. You are correct in that exaust gas moving will turn the turbine blades. But the gas movement alone will not provide enough power to build pressure on the compressor side. Thermodynamics provide the power to rotate the rotor at the speeds needed to give you a power increase. Thats why...

Turbos operate from heat. Not exaust gas flow. To get a turbo to spool up faster you have to add more heat, or decrease restance to rotation. This is usally done by using a smaller compressor wheel. Exaust gas expansion in the turbine housing is what forces the turbine to spin. If you decrease...
