As prospective mechanical engineers, my group decided to work with turbochargers for my thermodynamics class. here's a part of our project proposal..

"By retrofitting a turbocharged/intercooled system on an otherwise stock engine, we intend to increase the power output of the vehicle in the most efficient way possible. We will go about this by idealizing the thermodynamic properties, such as temperature and pressure changes through components in the system, by idealizing the components that our turbocharger system is composed of.

Overall we are hoping to find a significant increase in power, and to gain more knowledge on the aforementioned devices (compressor, turbine, and heat engine). "

so i'm pretty psyched for the project, being able to fully understand and possibly work with turbocharged vehicles and whatnot.

That's awesome, what engine are you working with?

Dude thats sick man... I assume thats your major in college? and as paul said id be interested to know what car your working with.
