#Turbochargers seem to increase pressure, not consume it (not that I'm complaining, but *what?*).

Like I said in the title, turbochargers seem to increase, not decrease exaust pressure. It also rectifies itself every time I overheat a cylinder on the craft. No matter the engine. Photos incoming.

#

This is when I first noticed, and I just screenshotted it because "cool, funny thing"

#

Oh, before I give any more info, context: I was messing with injector/turbo hybrids and this engine was 3 injectors, 1 carburettor, one cylinder. The carburettor was turbocharged by five chargers, four recieving six gas from the cylinder, qnother reciving the final 2.5 (cylinder gave off 26.5 gas)

#

Have to go now, be back with more stuff.

Day two of messing around with this. this again comes from the same 26.5 pressure setup.

#

From what I can see, more turbochargers on carbourettors increase the power, and amore turbochargers on a single carburettor increase it more than just turbochargers.

#

Will now attempt to investigate in a somewhat organised and scientific way instead of just lumping carbs and cylinders together.

With a little fiddling with overheating on a dedicated test platform, I've managed to recreate the effect. I'm not sure how though, I think it's got something to do with either overheating or additional turbochargers.

Looking into it further, I think that the problem (?) is caused by removing and then replacing turbochargers.

hi, ive run into the same thing, someone told me i should post it here too as more evidence that this is still a thing:

#

here's three screenshots, the two feeds (one turbo with 25 pressure passed on, and one cylinder outputting 5 pressure) and the pipe they feed into at 55 pressure

and one of the ludicrous exhaust temp it created
