well, by what i grasp and understand is having a hotter 'intake' (as in, the exhaust gas temp into the turbo) and a cooler 'exhaust' (as in, the exhaust gas temp OUT of the turbo) is optimal..
thus in theory, the turbine could spool simply due to the temp change (think hotter gas wanting to take the 'coolest' route of exit).
how much this effects real world perf, /shrug.. but made me think that having a snow [and/or water] cooled heat sink on the down pipe could be beneficial? and wrapping, or coating the intake/header side of the turbo, to keep heat in the pipe, thus hotter exhaust temps into the turbo.
...hmm...like a short muffler in the front of the tunnel, exposed to under tunnel snow...

A turbo needs to stay hot to run efficant and make power. Why the hell would you want a cold turbo snow ice ect.. rear mount. A mid mount or front mount keeps the heat up in the turbo and yet the air temp from the intercooler is kept down and having better performance over all not to mention less lag.Mountain testing is by far the best! You get it the kit and it works. And for those of you that are after the dyno numbers and believe it like gospel, you can make a land and sea dyno give you what ever #s you want, bigger hp #s and torque #s for guys that want to tell thier buddys of all the hp they got. And there is one turbo company that did that just by running the dyno back wards. running the machine to the rev limiter and pulling it down to idle with the dyno to get the bigger curve."spiking the dyno" This will get your higher numbers because you are slowing all spinning parts and the engine down for your advantage. But hey, what ever sells kits right thats what some guys want."my kit has 300 hp at 16 pounds boost"lol Impulse is the real deal, proven in the mountains for every day fun in the pow and winning races with the same sled.
the amount of people who could handle a sled like this and use it to its full potenial are really limited . it will be really cool to see these things on the snow this winter , and to see whos riding them .
