There is no backforce on a turbo...If you have backforce on a turbo you have very bad things happening. Now to achieve even more efficiency factor in a nice ported intake, some cnc'd and ported heads, a very free flowing exhaust. etc etc.....or just do the smart thing for yourself and take it to a proven shop to have it all spec'd and installed properly.
oh yeah HKS SSQV FTMFW or Turbonetics Godzilla since it is called godzilla afterall!!
I just called to Confirm and Yes Baby Jesus is still Sad about this thread.

Hmm...not sure if what you're saying here is applicable...power is going to be determined by the pressure in the combustion chamber - this opposing force is what generates the boost pressure agreed...but furthermore, a large diameter of the "straw" or small diameter isn't really going to make a difference...what matters is the pressure inside the straw...the diameter just changes the velocity of air, but the volume of air that passes through will remain the same at the same boost pressure (Bernouli's principle - a small straw will just have faster moving air than the big straw at the same pressure)
Perhaps that was a poor example I used to illustrate that point. But the topic was well covered by yourself and others

Not necessarily.
As the car's power increases, power loss through drivetrain loss increases as well. It's usually a percentage. 15% for a manual and 17-20% for an automatic.
