would putting a filter on the airhorn render it useless? what if put between the airhorn and the turbo?

that makes no sence. Turbos are spooled by the pressure of the exast gases, not their temperature, you can blow whatever you want through the exast housing to spool the turbo hot or cold. The only way I can see how heat helps is when thingsare hot they expand, so with hot gasses you would need less actuall gas (then cold gases) because the voluem will be bigger. But that means the temp of the gasses ENTERING the turbo play a key role, when inside heating them up seem rather pointless because by the time they will they will be out of the turbo already. I dont know, just trying to reason it out....
Pengaru is right, take some thermodynamics courses before you argue this subject.



Those heat shields aren't going to help the turbo much, I think, they are mostly meant to protect other components from heat radiating from the housing. [/quote]

I know that in Japan, the exhaust housing has to have a heat shield around it(to be considered "legal")...it's possible that this kit came from Japan and then thrown on a LHD Supra.

Freestyle, Shut the **** up. If you have a problem with Epion...use the PM system instead of post whoring the Single Turbo Section....He's asking legitimate questions. Sometimes, he just gets on the wrong track...like so many of us have before.

If he was just asking questions that would be fine, but on a couple of occasions people gave very good info and he tried to argue with them. I say if you are not looking for the correct answer and just want to argue when you don't know ****, then go the **** away.
