Well thats the thing I thought about...

On a turbo engine, it will pressurise the manifold to a set pressure.

Should the airflow be slightly restricted, all thats going to happen is that the air will flow faster through the manifold, but the same volume of air will still be getting through surely?

Unless of course is so badly restricted there is backpressure to the turbo....

Well thats how I was thinking anyway...

Not sure on the exact physics principles!!
