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.

Yes the main energy source of a turbo is to have air spinning the turbine. But the extreme hot gasses also help the turbo increase its efficency.

simply..

20 gallons of 5psi cold air will make a turbo put out 3 units of energy..
but..
20 gallons of 5psi hot air ( like car exhaust temp) will make 3.1 units of energy.

why would there be more energy put out? Well, we all know hot air likes to expand. If the turbo design manages to catch this expanding energy, the more energy it can produce.
