So I just though of this idea that could eliminate turbo lag completely, and I was wondering if it’s ever been tried or anything.
My idea is that the turbo and piping for the turbo would be normal, except just before the throttle body, there could be a split pipe. Attached to this pipe would be sort of a short ram air intake, except there would be a high quality one-way valve in between the filter and throttle body. This way, before the turbo has spooled, the engine would get air from the short ram intake, and be like an N/A car. But once the turbo is going, the pressure in the intake pipes would over power the short ram, and close the one-way valve, thus utilizing the turbo piping setup. Kind of confusing, hopefully this crappy pic I drew in paint can help. I drew in with a 7afe. ![]() So what do ya guys think? Seems like it could work if the 1 way valve is good enough. |

I imagine if there was a vacuum in the air intake when the turbo is just spooling up that there will be no air to combust and the engine wouldnt run. The vacuum registered on a boost guage just shows a period when the engine is sucking all the air out of the intake before boost is made and the vacuum forms as the air is sucked out of the pressure tubing going to the boost guage. Theoretically it seems like one because the air is sucked out by the engine and more is rushing in but the suck doesnt allow the boost guage line to fill up with air so it seems like a vacuum until force induced air fills it and registers boost.
