  4. watched it, pretty interesting any more ? Depends how deep you wanna go If you want a total head thrash have a look at this: http://www.ztechz.net/index.html Its based around the Z32 but all the technical stuff is the same Cheers, Andy
  5. How turbos work: http://www.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm Cheers, Andy
  6. Full chat is once there is enough exhaust gases driving the turbo(s) to give full boost. The boost is limited by the wastegate which basically is a bypass valve - any excess exhaust gas is diverted around the turbine. Say the car is running 9psi boost, the wastegate will be set to be fully open once there is 9psi in the inlet manifold. Feel free to ask any more questions, I'm such a geek Cheers, Andy
  7. What you on about Martin? Saz never gets drunk LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Ok... Next question (Please dont mock) But is this a turbo per cylider bank or a sequential set up. And... if its 1 per bank how do they balance out the amount of boost, so its equal for both sides. I know its complicated, just asking the question made my head hurt... Its a true twin setup, not sequential. Boost balance is achieved through a 2-1 Intercooler and carefull setup of the wastegate actuator pre-tension Yeah, what he said Sorry lol should have explained a bit better Both turbos are basically joined together at their outlets by the intercooler and then feed the one intake. Because they are joined it will negate any pressure differences. The wastegates are the parts which control how much boost a turbo runs at full chat. They are adjusted so that both turbos run the same level of boost. Nope, I failed again
  9. Have you ever had the pleasure of seeing the "Hungry Hundy"?
