Touchdown! Greaser!
Just for curiosity I am trying to get a feel for how much pressure (or force) is on those rubber connecting hoses attaching the large metal tubes of the induction system of a TSIO-550.
The turbos generate 38.5" MP. At sea level the outside pressure is 30".
How much is that in psi?
It is as easy as 38.5 minus 30 = 8.5psi (edit this should be mmHg) and google says that is 4 psi?
If so does that also mean at fl180 (if the turbos can still do 38.5psi) where the ambient pressure is 15" the diff is 23.5" or 11.5psi?
I have heard of these hoses letting go and causing a boom, I just wondered if it was a 'boom' or a 'BOOM!'.
