     If you need more power like on a Mustang or Porsche, consider using two Aerocharger®s . Sometimes you will find an advantage in the simpler installation of two rather than all the extra plumbing necessary to accommodate one turbo.

Understanding Maps
     W
hen looking at the maps below, keep in mind they were created in a lab under idea conditions. Your installation will be adding an air cleaner, plumbing and muffler. Your actual results will be different, but these maps serve as a good starting place. By answering just a few questions, we can point you to the right trim size for the compressor and turbine.

Surge Line
    
Surge is most commonly experienced when one of two situations exist. The first and most damaging is surge underload. It can be an indication that your compressor is too large. Surge is also commonly experienced when the throttle is quickly closed after boosting. This occurs because mass flow is drastically reduced as the throttle is closed, but the turbo is still spinning and generating boost. This immediately drives the operating point to the far left of the compressor map, right into surge.
     Surge will decay once the turbo speed finally slows enough to reduce the boost and move the operating point back into the stable region.
     The surge line is the left hand boundary of the compressor maps below. Operation to the left of this line represents a region of flow instability. On a conventional turbocharger this region is characterized by mild flutter to wildly fluctuating boost and “barking” from the compressor.
    
     The Aerocharger has a soft surge.
Soft surge line means that the turbo flutter is mild and it will recover quick and the surge is hardly noticeable. A hard surge mean there is a noticeable and sudden flutter of power...NOT good and disastrous on a motorcycle in a corner rolling on the power for a fast exit!

We will be adding more maps.
