Thats right, I didn't. I'm slipping...........sad day. [&:]
The compressors discharge pressure would be higher than normal for a particular mass flow rate of air, and therefore would consume more power itself. The higher the discharger pressure, the more leakage past the rotors as well, which is wasted energy, as the compressor is compressing that volume/mass of air more than once. I guess this reduces vol. eff because for every turn of the S/C, the air charge isn't 100% "fresh".

Or something like that....

I'll be running ARH LT's anyway with the tiny hi-flo cats & x-pipe, so I don't expect any issues with cat converter melt-downs.
Is it July yet?

It was the axel back Borla that I installed, it stayed on the hanger but came off the pipe...On Dr's this car throws you back and then presses you into the seat.
