Default Turbo Info

I read some discussion about turbo cooling (leaving the engine run for a certain time...) and while I was googling, I found this site that, while it was made for a volvo engine, is pretty informative about things....
Just thought someone might enjoy reading it.

Good info in there. It's even better since I'm at work and bored out of my mind.

Same here - I wanted to learn how a wastegate works. I was talking with a coworker about a turbo on a supra. I saw a picture of a modded twin turbo - one enormous, and the other stock. Do you know how the wastegate equalizes the pressures going into the cylinder? I think on at V8, the turbo's are bank-specific, but on the straight 6 supra, does the boost get 'combined'?

I have no clue how it works on a supra, but if you want to learn about turbos, I recommend www.turbobygarrett.com .
