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. |

My buddy that raced nopi succesfully is creating a new thing this year. Basically, (on his supra), the piping from the turbo will go straight up to a custom box which then goes straight into the intake. the advantage of this is the fact that from the turbo to the TB, he'll only have a foot, foot in a half of piping. The custom box will hold mother loads of dry-ice.
