Boost pressure is the amount of pressure above normal atmospheric pressure the turbo/supercharger is producing. Can be expressed in PSI (US used) or BAR (mainly outside the US). BAR = (boost pressure) * 14.7 (atmospheric pressure) / 14.7 (atmospheric pressure), an example 8psi of boost equals: 14.7+8/14.7 = 1.54bar

What causes the turbo lag on a 91 eagle talon And can it be fixed?

When you press on the accellerator, combustion gas creates more exhaust pressure. The rise in exhaust pressure increases the speed of the turbo, thereby increasing the intake pressure, which is the turbo boost. You will not be able to benefit from turbo boost until the turbo spins up. That's where the lag comes from. It's inherent in turbo systems. Ive only had one turbo car but I know it had an air pressure activated dump gate that would only allow turbo air pressure to enter the intake at a preset PSI. There were ways to increase ( bigger boost) or decrease (more power throughout driving range) the gate release point with rheastats or performance chips.


How does a blowoff valve work?

The turbo blow off valve works by:If the throttle returns to idle while at high boost the valve opens and relives the pressure preventing turbo damage and speeding boost recovery time.This is done by use of a over pressure sensorOr by use of a throttle position and boost pressure sensor working together.

How much horsepower does a twin turbo add?

Turbo chargers are all about boost. The amount of additional horsepower will depend on the amount of boost pressure you use. So just adding a twin turbo you can add just a few horsepower all the way to hundreds of additional horsepower.
