    Getting around a turbo restrictor requirement

    Crysta1c1ear, you need to be a little bit careful here, increasing the inlet pressure increases the inlet density. Decreasing the inlet temperature increases the inlet density. rho = P/rT The compressible flow equation mdot = C*A2*P1*SQRT[(gc/RT1)*k*(2/(k+1))^{(k+1)/(k-1)}] mdot is directly...

    Getting around a turbo restrictor requirement

    Typically, the best you can do is a well designed venturi with a smooth surface finish, rounded inlet, and a 7-10 degree diffuser.
