Understood and agreed. My whole point has just been that turbos are not completley non-power robbing. People seem to think that they arnt, but they do a tiny tiny little bit. Not enough to make much difference, but they to.
Between your earlier statement and Reds "baffling" explanation

(to most people it probably didn't make sense), I'll say that there's to many variables to make a correct statement about turbos.
Very small turbos have no backpressure at idle-low rpms but cause a restriction at high rpms. Big turbos are just the opposite, hard to turn at low rpms but flow ALOT better at high rpms.
