    Isnt the only reason they are hot is because they are fed by exhaust so in theory if you had forced cold air feeding it instead hot exhaust the whole thing would run even better?

    I'm definitely no expert!

    But is this right?
    Heat is energy but the heat energy is a by-product of the combustion process and during combustion the energy that's turned into heat is lost energy as it's not turned back into kinetic energy. It's the pressure, or kinetic energy, of the exhaust being forced out of the engine that spins the turbine and continues to be kinetic energy which forces the air in.
    Oil and coolant cooling are for the moving parts,

    So for the heat in the turbine gasses..... you need fuel to make the heat, you need the heat to make the boost, so in theory, if you can keep in some heat from combustion, you should be able to make the same boost responce with less fuel.

    Thats why I have ceramic coated so much in order to somewhat test the theory
