Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that the method of operation behind a turbo was as follows: There is a dual bladed fan with some kind of a shaft between the two blades. One side of the fan is inside of the exhaust manifold and is rotated by the exhaust of the engine. The other side is connected to the air intake of the carb. Therefore, when you accelerate, the exhaust spins the fan faster producing a higher flow of air into the carb which eventually makes it into the cylinder chamber. If you let off on the throttle, less exhaust is produced and therefore less boost presure. -- Marc Evans - WB1GRH Interactive Systems Corp. Boston, MA
