I dunno if you missed the point or not…
The example I gave above was to show that the thermal expansion of air inside the engine, turbo and piping will NOT turn the turbo at all. It is the flow of air through the turbo that turns it.
If we claim thermal expansion is the energy that turns the turbo then it must be that the air in the combustion chambers becomes hotter as it gets into the turbo and expands, creating more pressure to turn the turbo. Is this your side of this theory?
I don’t know if you’ve read Maximum Boost, but I don’t see ANY mention of a turbo getting its energy from thermal expansion…but I do see mention of turbo inlet pressure and flow rates.
