Can someone plz explain exactly how a turbo system hooks up..How does the air go it and what are the 2 ends hooked up to and how does the air go into? does the exhaust air flow into the turbo and how does it flow out im confused? how does the downpipe work and what is it hooked to?

 

when exhaust exits the motor it creates pressure on a turbine in a turbo, which has a little driveshaft that turns another turbine in the turbo which sucks air from the intake and from the pressure off the exhaust it creates boost into the motor.

read all 3 of those...should be simple and they will explain much more in depth yet easier to understand than most of us can.

 

Theres good info here as well as www.ecotecforum.com. I read a lot here and there and also bought:
Street Turbocharging design,fabrication,installation, and tuning of high-performance turbocharger systems by mark warner. (19 new at borders)

I had a very easy time reading this book - NJHK recommended it to me

I also have Turbocharging performance handbook by Jeff Hartman. That one started out as an easy read and ~half way through started to get a litttle over my head.. I had to read many chapters twice This one was 30 new at borders but I didnt pay that or 20 for the other. Sign up for thier club or w.e. its called and you can get like 40% off coupons
