You may have noticed that each successive part is getting more and more in depth. I did that to get people familiar with the subject first, and have basics to refer back to for the next part. For the third part, I'm still trying to decide what to write about. Usually I just go with the flow and what makes sense, so most of the article will probably be decided when I write it. You just reminded me of some excellent points though, like how downpipe geometry affects spool time, dispelling the notion that exhaust backpressure doesn't matter on turbocharged cars, why efficiency matters, and so forth. Thanks :D Thanks Dustin, I’m glad you think that, because it is exactly what I aim for when I write these technical articles.

Hopefully, you can discuss some of the other components to a turbocharged system like downpipes, up-pipes, the different basic designs of turbos, bearing types, etc. Good write-up… not too much engineering-speak, but enough to make it technically appealing without being like reading a textbook.
