The turbo compresses the air.

i am aware what boost is and that a turbo drives the compression. My analogy of trying to use a turbo to pump air through a 12" diameter tube and a 1/4" straw still stands. A turbo is going to need to create more boost to force the same mass of air through a straw regardless of what turbo it is.

If the turbo has nothing to cram the air into, it wont make boost, it will just sling air out of its compressor.

OK, so I am still confused on what you think boost is. Air pressure in the manifold? I am pretty sure you are talking PSI, KPA, BAR, what ever measure you want to use.

You have to take into account the volume in your straw VS your tube. Also you have to flow bench them. Manifold pressure comes from different things.

Yes I understand what a hair drier is.

Yes! Ive been running V11 now for 400km now and is perfect! My laptop crashed and been out of internet for awhile so i wont be getting logs done til the weekend.

Power wise is almost stupid in the rain. Pulls extremely hard around 2000rpms and up. Almost like hitting a power band in a 2 stroke dirt bike. Now im getting excited for the race tune ;)

I dont think ill be getting it dynod as its almost 500 bucks where i live for a pull
