Turbo performance vs non-turbo
Ok, another turbo question:
Can someone please explain to me the performance gain by going above 30" MP (say, during takeoff) on a turbo'd engine. How much better performance are you getting from the engine at say 35"MP on takeoff vs a non-turbo'd engine that's going to max out around 29"? Is it worth the strain put on the engine? I understand the turbo being able to maintain power at high altitudes, but I haven't heard it explained to me why I would need such a high power setting on takeoff/climb (assuming sea level field). |
