Thoughts on a STS turbo? Options

[freddy121389]

Has anyone tried or seen one of these before? Would it be hard to run the oil line back there? any comments are much appreciated.

On a 4cylinders it would be very long to compress: exhaust to the turbine wheel (to much pressure "elasticity" at this distance)
and very long to recompress: air from the compressor wheel to the intake manifold

Results: Much lag and especially a lot of energy loss when BOV open to put out all the air you compress on the 8feet long pipe, so from gear to gear you would have to recompress all the air into that piping.


what a bad idea for 4 cylinders, also for 6-8-10-12-16 cylinders engine, what a crappy idea (superchargers don't produce heat at all)





.....and what a good idea to put a turbo under a fuel tank
