Those aren't realistic assumptions. IC efficiency is almost never above 75%. And you can't reuse this efficiency number (for a different turbo or even boost level) if you have computed it empirically because its not linear. It also doesn't take into account how thermoclines will develop in...

Hmm, Dave@Cobb isn't right about how having an intercooler mitigates the affect of having a warmer pre-turbo intake charge. The rules of thermodynamics still apply to turbo charged cars. If a turbo is sucking in hotter air the post turbo charge will be hotter still. Since Newton's law of...
