Hey guys,
Overall I have a good understanding about turbocharging. However, I’ll give two examples which have basic concepts I’m confused about:
Ex.1: Say there is an I4 engine with one turbo running 16 lbs. of boost. Does each cylinder experience 16 psi or does each cylinder experience 4 psi, give or take?
Ex.2: Say there is a V6 or a V8 engine with a turbo for each side of the engine(twin turbo). If the engine is making 18 lbs. of boost, is each turbo producing only 9 psi for their 3 or 4 cylinders? Or is each side of the engine experiencing 18 lbs. of boost?
These questions might sound confusing but thanks for any info!
