I was looking thru the new HCI magazine and i came across 2 new forms of turbo induction.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squires Turbo Systems (STS)
The first being a new idea first tested on an Acura Integra (go figure) , but it had outstanding results. The turbo setup was situated in the back of the vehicle, under the wheel well!! Where the muffler was supposed to be, the turbo, filter and wastegate were located.........

The second interesting new induction method was created by Cry02, it basically utilzes compressed carbon dioxide gas to power a compressor similar to the compressors that are found on turbo setups. Looks like it could have potential, however finding information on it is becomming a loss for now, ill update when i find more on it.

I dont kno how you can get away with saying that there wouldnt be any increased lag because first the exhaust gases have to travel almost the entire length of the car to reach the turbine and then from the compressor the almost the entire length of the car AGAIN to get into the engine. How exactly that doesnt produce 10x the lag, I'd like to see for myself.

Secondly; theres alot of room between the turbine and the engine where not only one, but several exhaust leaks can develop. And not only holes, but debris from common rotting exhaust systems can get into the pipes and destroy turbine wheels.

Good things are obvious, everythings cooler. Thats about it.
