Default RE: Does a turbine run better with inlet ducting

You're saying that the ECU's don't limit ff as the egt limits are reached?
Well some are different than others (I think the AMTs do not look at EGT after the turbine starts) but that was not my point. I was stating the case where you hit your RPM limit and the temps are low so by definition you are not near an EGT cutoff, if your ECU has an EGT limit function.

How can a turbine not be ''loaded'' and make ''little power'' while running at it's limit rpm? Please elaborate?

I don't understand the physics behind it, buit what I took from Eddie was that some combinations of bypasses and pipes produce a low pressure aft of the turbine, and this low pressure lets the turbine have it easier at a given RPM. So if you go to full throttle, the RPM would max out but the EGT would be low (and I would guess the ff would be low as well, but he did not speak of that).
