[@fawaz908]

You can avoid the heat issue easily by utilizing the Venturi effect, basically using compressed air perpendicular to the exhaust of the laptop so it sucks air rather than pushing it , or simply make a connection from the exhaust of the laptop to the inlet of the turbo

[@SomeonesOtherGuy]

This is a good idea and I hope they address it!

[@rompemord1]

Its a good idea, hope it does not create too much of a low pressure tho, as low pressure (low density) air cools less.

[@Bogeyatyour6YT]

Depending on the negative pressure, the fan in the laptop might get f'd or run so fast that it will melt.

[@BrianG61UK]

But you can only suck up to 1 atmosphere suction. You can blow with many atmospheres of pressure. Therefore blowing can get much higher airflow.

[@wrth]

Interesting and somewhat important note on compressor surge: ON-THROTTLE surge is VERY BAD! That's when the turbo is actively trying to compress against air that is rushing back into the compressor housing and causes catastrophic damage if done for too long. OFF-THROTTLE surge as shown in the video is still not good on the bearing but it's significantly better than on-throttle. This is because the exhaust is not forcing the compressor to spin. Some cars had off-throttle surge from factory i.e., Mitsubishi Evos. You can run off throttle surge for many years and your turbo will be fine, most likely your turbo will eventually fail due to other factors such as oil starvation (unfortunately from experience).

[@mcgherkinstudios]

Yup done many years of track abuse with no BOV at all and no blown turbos as a result.

@carltonleboss but you need the ecu and wiring for the new engine which would be the motherboard around it. Usually you put in the transmission that matches the new engine so that could be the gpu. This is laptops so they're all one unit anyway. You could theoretically go from say a 12400 to 12700 on the same motherboard but that's not as much fun.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

It would be fun to slap something like 14900k into this laptop. Normally 14900k would get way too hot but with a cooling solution like this, it might be fine. However, modern laptops often have soldered CPU instead of using a socket which makes replacing the CPU next to impossible.

8:55 that's a common myth about having no blow off valve. In reality myself and loads of other people run without blow off valves for years on various cars and have never ever had any damage to turbos. It can actually improve throttle response when you get back on throttle because you didn't just dump all of the already compressed air out of the system

[@boostaddict_]

Correct. Compressor surge is only really an issue if it's happening under load for a sustained period, meaning the pressure ratio and flow rate is too high for the engine and the boost is flowing back through the compressor wheel causing some really violent shock load.

So then why do blow of valves exist?

[@DxCBuG]

What? Nah it won't dump air out. Most of them on a stock car are electric and ECU controlled and fully closed when there's nothing to dump. Even aftermarket builds use electric ones cause you gain much better control

​@tomcraftdonkey2285 BOV's were always plumb back from factory for emissions reasons, and so the ECU was not seeing air flow via the MAF during decel. However aftermarket manufacturers found that vented BOV's made cool noises when vented to atmosphere so they made vented BOV's.

As a master automotive tech and race tech i just want to clarify compressor surge during boost build is bad, its completly fine when your of the accelerator. its a common myth that has been proven yet and yet again. loved the video :)
