Default Has anyone ever thought of this for colder air into the turbo?

i dunno i was thinking the toher night and came up with this pipe dream
instead of putting a filter on the compressor or do a cold air type deal on the inlet to get a colder charge flowing,
what about on the outlet end of the ic after it cools the charge to send it to the throttle body to have an extra pipe branch off to put some of that colder charge back in the turbo?
would this cause compressor surge though?
like i siad its a pipe dream, but i was just curious if sometihng like that would benfit in any way ?

You wouldnt have any air in the system if you did that. You would need to be taking in air somehow. Plus, I think you would be losing mass flow if you split up the output of the IC. Definitely a pipie dream. Creative I guess though.

Def. smoking the rock hehe J/K

But for real, it would be worse because the ambient air is def. gonna be cooler than whats coming through the IC.

Plus another point that was already made, your engine would never have any 'air intake', thus it wouldnt even run.

Hey gotta be creative, keep thinkin!
