[QUOTE="Charles, post: 1041499, member: 103"] Forgot to address your added engine braking. That is the exact quantity of power you're pissing away the whole time you're simply trying to move down the road at constant speed. The lower the load on the engine, the more power and diesel you're pissing away into the serpentine belt for the purpose of making a lot of racket under the hood when you're just trying to head home with the groceries. When the turbo and the diesel were married angels sang, light shone down from the heavens and it was good. The forced induction system follows the engine load perfectly. As you need more, you get more, as you need less, you get less, beautiful. What you've done is design the perfectly backward system. When you need absolutely no power adder, you've got a blower up there jumping up and down barking and shoving like an idiot, while robbing power and making noise to no end. Spectacularly though, when you actually stick your foot in it and actually [i]want[/i] some power, the blower not only loses potency, but reverses and starts [i]reducing power[/i] by surging the turbo, lol. If a man set out to make the worst forced induction setup possible, I don't know how it could be done any better. Loud, power [i]loss[/i], efficiency loss, mass flow [i]decrease[/i], and it goes nuts when you want nothing out of it, yet does nothing when you need it. You don't own a Pit Bull by chance do you?
