Quote from: "saurkraut"The engine slows down more slowly that the turbo. So I read this earlier today and decided to check to see if this is correct. I do not beleive it is. I ran my car at WOT in second gear a few times today and observed that the engine would return to idle and the boost pressure would remain at 6-7psi for about 3 seconds before returning to 0 on the gauge.So, that in mind, the engine is obviously slowing down faster than the turbo. This test was done only at about 15psi as I didnt have a lot of road and I didnt want to take my eyes off of traffic on the freeway.What say the group?

Quote from: "Dr. Diesel"it's all about the wicked sound. Just like putting a "BOV" on a G60 engine. Utterly useless. Sorry for my ignorance. A G60 is a supercharged Corrado correct? I'm trying to understand why a supercharged car wouldn't need a BOV. Is it because the boost is made "POST-THROTTLE-PLATE" So there's not Boost backing up against the throttle plate??

zukgod: please reread my post. I assure you that I have ZERO kinks. The system is clean, no harsh bends or anything backyard going on. Remember, this is returning from full boost to clutch in for idle.
Im not trying to pick a fight, I just dont understand how the turbo returns from 30k rpm to say maybe 10k in the timespan of 1 second (about what it takes for the engine to return to idle).
I find it very hard to beleive that the turbo (spinning at 30k rpm) returns to idle rpm instantly.
