So how much boost do I get if I put a turbo in the oven ? A really hot oven
?
Does it work for microwaves too ?

Has anyone actually done any measurements or seen any data on the cost side
of a turbo ?
If I had an engine that dyno'd at say 350hp with headers and then pulled
them off , put on a turbo and turbo manifold and had it venting into the
air with a restriction on the compressor, how many horsepower would I have
left ?
