I was reading in a post earlier on the pros and cons of turbo or s/c'd engines and there was this small bit about how the turbo increases power when your engine is working harder, that I understand, more fuel burned more combustion gases more energy to spin the turbo. My question is if you have a turbo and run the air conditioner thereby increasing engine load at idle would it increase power upon launch. I'm assuming that the power is increased more than linearly with the amount that the engine is working.

Prolly a dumb question but that's what happens to a mind during a 12 hour shift at work without any other mental stimulation... biggrin.gif
