Maybe a good idea??

I was reading one of the posts and everyone has troubles getting boost when launching or reving in first. So I thought of on the compressor housing side of the turbo drill a tiny hole in it and have a high pressure nozzle pointing in the direction of the blades and squirt a bunch of air say like 150 psi? maybe it would cool everything down and spool a little bit more psi when revving ready to launch. Or maybe tap into were the engine exhausts and pore alot of air in that way. I dunno seems like a good thought.

i thought about that quite a while ago. except i figured for the amount of air needed if constanly in use the weight of the whole thing would offset the decreased turbo lag. i never really tried it tho so it might be worth it but i don't think it would be.
just my $.02
