Who says it doesn't take hp to turn a turbine! :P

I recall something being said about the transfer of heat from the turbine to the compressor is basically "zilch".

I don't understand. Joe says that SC's make more heat than turbos. Maybe this is that orange cold I've heard about.

I can envision the paint on the hood bubbling up...

Thats exactly why I never wanted a turbo. Waaaaaaaay too much heat. An that glowing block of iron is just a short distance from the driver. God forbid you have an accident or catastrophic failure.

Good luck checking the oil without asbestos gloves!

Now I know why manifolds crack, and why cam ovelap is a problem (back pressure!!!).

does this happen with turbo charged engines even the stock MSM? WOW!!

Yes, but not so bad. The higher the boost, the greater the restriction the hotter it gets. I think the MSM is only about 5PSI.
