Seriously? Are you all such pretentious bastards that you cannot have someone note a SERIOUS problem, and offer a SERIOUS solution without losing all class and making light of the issue?
There is nothing "Intellectual" about it. Far from it actually. If people are using the same term to describe TOTALLY OPPOSITE things then you have a BIG problem in a "discussion".
From the FIRST page of this thread:
Examples where the usage denotes "Primary" as the turbo you primarily drive around on...
Yet another with the same notion...
You'll have to excuse my ignorance then, because apparently it is FUKING OBVIOUS that "Primary" means first stage and "Secondary" means second stage..... except that HALF the MF'ers in the thread are discussing this under the EXACT OPPOSITE ASSUMPTION!!!
I can't believe how stupid people get. Using whatever term you want is fine..... EXCEPT when it's NOT intuitive as is PLAINLY the case here being that the term is being used in 100% OPPOSING ways multiple times in this thread. Using those terms is NOT stupid. Denying the fact that they are being misused IS!!! Very much so! I suggested "First Stage" and "Second Stage" because they ARE intuitive, in that the word STAGE makes DIRECT reference to STAGES OF COMPRESSION. And that terminology also happens to be the INDUSTRY STANDARD for describing staged compression...
Have a nice thread.... or two. Being that there are apparenty two threads working at once here. One where Primary means first stage, and one where it means second.....
:smirk:
To the OP, best of luck weeding through the descriptions where you have to read 75% of the post before you know which way they are using those terms... Especially hard for anyone that isn't well-versed in turbocharging in the first place.
I hope you get a good game plan worked out, because I do enjoy watching that thing run down the track (if it's the car you are gathering this info for). Sorry that my intention of setting a level playing field for discussion ended up turning a portion of your thread into a pile of crap because these people don't want to take the time to build a discussion on top of a sound foundation of verbage, but instead just want to keep shooting from the hip with terms that everone constantly mixes up.
Best of Luck to you.
