Turbo Video
I was just surfing howstuffworks.com and came across
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm
Of all cars to have in a turbo video, we see the ap1 f20c (i think?). I was just wondering what type of turbo set-up this is because i've never seen anything like it on this site.
thanks

Hey thats a PFAB manifold 
its not on backwards. They have the turbine housing bolted on without the cartridge and compressor cover.

that guy is a fukcing tool...
"the turbocharger atomizes the air so you get better fuel economy" it helps atomize the fuel... you can't atomize air.
"any internally combustion engine that uses gasoline and compression can use a turbocharger" what about diesels?
"a log manifold... with a collector" this is a first for me...
just get a gt35 and drop by my shop and i'll hook you up!

yes, he's def. saying they do.
I think he's a tool as well. He has enough knowledge to make money in a shop and nothing more. As far as making a vehicle get better MPG on a turbo....atomization is only a part of it. A "collector" is where pipes meet regardless of how I guess huh? haha
If you figure 30% of a engines energy (through fuel) is wasted by flowing right out of the exhaust pipes, kinetic energy, heat, etc. These things are all put to use in a Turbo. The main 3 wasted byproducts of the motor being used to make more power mean higher efficiency. THIS is the largest contributing factor to better MPG on a turbo motor, also it is the main advantage over a supercharger. Still turbo's themselves have factors that limit effiency that we could discuss as well however, in proper sizing and highly efficient setups MPG can be higher then in a N/A motor that part is true. At least that's my take of the situation. I'm sure theres some things I'm forgetting to add here or perhaps even unaware of.
