Not sure on where to post this, as most diesels have turbos I thought here was the best place...
Something I think about now and again I can't understand it 100% hoping some one could help?
The reason why I am asking is people say check the flow of the turbo, you need a good flow etc...
Please explain if my thinking is not accurate etc.. but surely the best setup would be to aim to get optimum efficiency out of the turbo with the highest psi you could as this will force air in to the cylinder quicker and more compact?
Would the above be the best way to match a compressor to an engine? obviously you use a compressor map to estimate too?
I understand there is a lot more than just this to factor in, so could some one explain?
