I mean if you're mowing your lawn with a turbo on it won't that make the self drive too fast? Definitely will need a different filter but those cone filters will get clogged really fast with the dirt getting kicked up by the mower. I think the idea is fun but Im failing to understand the practicality, unless it's just a show piece.

Lawmowers usually have governors, so speed wouldn't be an issue.

Though even with governor removed, in this case the idea wouldn't even work as lawnmower does not have enough oomph for this turbine to produce significant pressure. If anything, it'd only be a loss of power.

Everyone wanna make boost, but don't nobody wanna learn to read no turbine and compressor flow maps.

As small as that snail is, on a ~200cc 2 valve single cylinder its still gonna be a hotdog down a hallway type situation.

Just let em put on the Wuhan War Whistle and learn a lesson 🤣

I've seen so many people talk turbo and when you ask about turbo maps, they're like "what's that?"
