This isn't strictly a KR question but it applies...
Is it possible to setup a turbo to work strictly as an altitude compensator?
Anyone out there with real experience with turbos willing to allow their
brains to be picked?
Further explanation required I'll bet...
Ok, so what if you don't want

Though there are some very valid statements when you think about it, then
there is Tomas Knight, seems his name is all over the place when it comes to

I've been seriously looking at electric turbo's not the cheap ones, but some
of the good ones cost as much as a turbo (300-400) and seem to range from
8ps to 12psi.
Alot less plumbing, less weight, can do on/off when off the air flows though

I had a conversation this weekend with a fellow whose buddies had had problems
with turbos on VW based buggies and sandrails. It's not that they didn't work,

I agree with the evidence presented that in standard installations the max

I did a bit of stuff with turbos about 20 years ago on car engines, and a
lot of research.
A lot of the problems faced in fitting turbos to 1950/60 designed cars a
My engine has the compression set to 7.5:1. I have not experienced any
knock, lots of power and too much heat in the oil. As for my turbo setup, I

One quick note to think about when running a Turbo, especially if you are
