Err...nice workmanship but inherently flawed design. The whole point of turbocharger is to reuse heat in exhaust gases to do something useful (like pump air). With those long pipes, EGT will plummet and it will be very laggy and boost will come high up.



It would work better for a steady-state application (airplane or locomotive).
I've always wondered the same thing. Very cool concept, nice execution, but how well does it work?
