I found this in one of NICOs forums, cant really tell if it would work or how good it would work, some of the ideas seem good, but the placement of the turbo and air filter are questionable, however if someone wants to turbocharge a Q they could use some of these ideas, the giy on the lexus forums did his LS 400 just about the same way and seems to have no problem. TECH I know you will have a lot to say about this

I saw this setup at SEMA. The system works...but there losing alot of energy from the lose of heat going that distance to the turbo. Its not just a matter of pressure that turns the turbine its heat and velocity of the exhaust gas. My opinion? Dont waste your money...do it right if you want the best results. IE Keep the turbo as close to the heat source as possible.

No, heat doesn't create velocity. Heat creates volume. If you look at any of the physics laws for gasses, you will find that pressure and volume and heat are related. PV=NRT is a popular one, The V isn't for velocity, it is for Volume.
Hotter gasses have more volume, thus requiring a higher A/R which in effect means that it starts at say 3" and scrolls down to approximately 1". Lower temperature gasses are denser and have less volume, so they require a lower A/R housing which would start at the same 3" volume, as the turbine housings use standard flanges, and scroll down to say 3/4".
Think about it like this, put a pinwheel in a shell (to be like a turbo, or not) would the hot air make it spin faster if cold air is coming in the same volume? nooooooooo lol would a smaller volume of hot air moving fast or a large volume of air coming at a slightly slower but constant velocity move it more?
