I'm no expert on the physics of flow and pressure, but I would think that regardless of length (to an extent), once a tube has been filled with air or fluid, then changes in pressure should be near instantaneous at either end?

Alvin?

Think of it this way..do you want air pockets in your brake lines?

some fluids are very im-compressible so yes the pressure change would be near instant.

something more compressible ie air, it's going to take more to impact it, your going to have to change the pressure of a much greater volume so I would expect lag to increase.

plus same goes with zorst gases getting to turbo they have to travel more distance.

But in having more distance to travel there is also restriction too, so whatever detriment it gives to spooling the turbo, it could help with the engine building up RPM too?

It is external gate...

As the turbo is 4-5M back from the engine it shouldn't get too hot, there will be a heat shield over it all, and hopefully carpet back over the lot. I have to test it with an infra-red thermometer on the dyno first.

Lol something about a turbo sealed in the boot makes me feel uneasy.

That is going to be a lot of heat and no doubt the hot air will enter the cabin area.

Cut into the floor of the spare wheel bay and set up some cold air feed

i'd say there should be a little lag with regards to spool but, nothing serious. 4-5m isn't that long. As air is a compressible fluid, at even at scotty's 45psi, that just resolves to 3bar, which does nothing for compressibility, so there will still be an effect, though, pipe length is a lot less of a factor than a restriction.

But theoretical vs physical, i still think scotty should give it a try.

Don't worry, I will be. :P

The turbo won't be laggy, the engine should have the .82 rear GT35 pushing 20psi by around 2.5k, but it may not be as responsive as it would be hanging off the manifold...

The piping up and back is 2.5 inch so not too much area to fill.

Haha, days off important too :P. What is not good is when you take days off, and then unexpected events mean you can't go on days you were planning to go !

Also gotta figure out if it is indeed just my bulb that has burnt out in my headlight... if it is... china bulbs off ebay, $10... phillips like $67+ ... DECISIONS... Not sure if trust quality (+ shipping time probably like 2 weeks+) ... but then dat money =[

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
