Wonder if you could actually design something that could create a strong
scavenge, low pressure, effect to help pull the exhaust out? If pumping
efforts were reduced maybe one could overcome, or surpass, the increase in
frontal area. Would the scavenging increase the efficiency of the
turbocharger as it would in a normally aspirated engine?
