Not to hijack things,, but Vin peaked my curiousity on something.
Vin the exhaust side of a blower motor is obviously somewhat more tolerant of a poor flowing exhaust than is a turbo motor, but I'm curious in the R&D you were involved with just how bad does a undersized / poor flowing exhaust effect the turbo motors? With the hot side of the compressor being a restriction it'self,, does downstream restriction make more of an impact than with power than with .. say n/a
Turbo is kind of it's own world in being more tolerant of the street and crap fuels of today,,, and still making BIG power when you get after it.

Here's my random foolishness on where that is going. Do you (or anyone) know of any builds using small turbos on a pump gas TOWING motor??? What a turbo does for diesel is pretty impressive. Thinking along the same lines for a gas motor, any R&D that you know of? I've got this smallblock 383 TBI motor in my 1/2 ton I tow with. With tracks in AZ closing the tow now is 100 miles uphill to Tucson. 1700' of elevation over 100 miles isn't huge,, but the ol truck sure feels it on the overpasses and the few grades. Just toying with the idea and curious if gas and turbos mix as well towing as they do at the track.
