Idea to eliminate turbo lag..., ...or am I crazy. Options

[CheesyLobster]

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.

ha, the BEST way to eliminate turbo lag... use a supercharger, lol The way a turbo is designed to utilize the exaust as its means of "spool" so to speak means that lag is nearly inevitable- its part of the turbo motor package...

Well superchargers dont nearly put out as much power as a turbo can and plus dont forget you lose some horsepower in also making the engine spin the super charger. With a turbo it is alot more efficient and negligable amounts of horsepower is lost when utilizing already useless waste fumes. Dont forget turbolag is only present when accelerating hard from a slow cruising speed or in first gear in a launch. If you keep the revs up on the launch then u already have the turbo spooling but when cruising and slamming the gas u get the lag only until the revs rise then when shifting u normally keep the revs up enough to eliminate the lag on the next gear.

Thats why the ultimate system is a super/turbo combo They have them on mini coopers. bastards
