>I guess it's debatable whether or not it's
compressor or turbine. Results are the same. Compressor quits. As I
understand it, and the fix was to give the turbocharger more exhaust air volume
at lower engine rpm.<
Charlie, I do not know much about turbos, but since
all of the exhaust gas goes thru the turbine housing, the only way to generate
more torque to the turbine wheel would be to reduce the turbine inlet
size, increasing the gas back pressure, and therefore increasing torque to
the turbine wheel. This seems to me it would work up to the point the gas was
approaching super sonic speed at which time the flow would greatly diminish. I'm
curious... I wonder if some planes exhibit turbine stall due to cabin
leaks and therefore higher demand on the turbos.
