It is my assertion, that if we put our two theories to the test, that my theory would win races. In practice is winning races. Your theory was the prevaling theory not that long ago and it wone races, and at that time running that way was the very edge of want an engine would stand, but now we have moved the edge farther out. Our knowledge of how a turbo system works is ever changing. In the 60's the Chevy Covair Monza Turbos didn;t have wastegates, they used a restrictive muffler to control spool, rust up a muffler an you blew the engine. Progress marches on, we must embrace new theories and practics.
