Smellywelshman Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 As a VERY recent addition to the turbo fraternity I have come to realise my extreme lack of knowledge as to the whole torbo situation and how they work. Now I know the basics, forcing air, intercoolers, HEEEEEEEEEAWGE fuel consumption. But its things like bov's, wastegates, manifold (which I think are basically the downpipes exiting the engine?) etc....etc.... Can anybody just give me a 'Welshmans Guide' to these things that give so much insanegiggle factor?????!!!!! Just what does what, and when. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
