Re: 'super' cooling
I dont know if it was discussed or not... but the way i had thought about it would be to use the AC system to chill the water/intercooler surface, and then switch it off at WOT, effectively 'storing' the energy when its not needed.

Azmio,
I dont pretend to have very much experience in this area, I was simply going off a interesting technical document I read from the NACA repository which investigated the effect of increasing overlap (and duration) on a single cylinder engine. This made the point that supercharged engines...
Azmio - thats not entirely correct for turbocharging, in fact you seem to have described a supercharged application. turbo'ed engines have higher exhaust pressure and so during overlap tend to have reversion rather than blowthrough. but that doesnt help the original question :)

hi,
funnily enough this is what im doing too (aw11 mr2, with turbo 20v, 4agze bottom end with T3 turbo) and to check for compressor surge i just ran the figures and check whereabouts it was operating on the compressor maps which if you have a look around the internet you should be able to find...
Hi,
Ive been considering this, Im in the process of turbocharging a 20v 4AGE toyota, which come stock with individual throttles as you describe. My thoughts are that individual throttles give better response, and the only reason i have abandoned them is because you can get a better MAP signal...
