OK I believe this will work. I've been researching on designing the first turbocharged 2 stroke piston port engine. A fella told me it wouldnt work because a performance 2 stroke relies heavily on expansion chamber pulse. I agre to that 100%----Racing karts for 9 years in every aspect brought me everything I need to know about a 2 stroke. But I dont think he understood that I wanted to install the turbo BEYOND the expansion chamber. I need extra info in this department....how big is big enuff to prvide 20 lbs of boost.

Don't forget that backpressure beyond the expansion chamber greatly affects the expansion chamber's effectiveness. I think you're chasing your tail here. If you sit down and do the calculations, you'll find that it's going to be tought to get any efficiency increase - the power loss required to spin the turbo isn't made up by the boost the turbo provides.
