How much does a turbo suck?
I was wondering this morning how much a turbo sucks! I mean, if you put your hand over the pipe, would it be like a vacuum cleaner? Anybody know how strong the 'suck' would be????

Very strong, One of the race cars I was assiting with had its intake in the front bumper, if you revved the car with you hand 2-3 inches form the intake it would suck your hand hard onto the intake.

We had a Volvo FL10 Truck running on the Pit after a head gasket & wet liner seals replacement, The monster turbo was sat there intake side exposed. The truck was at a high tickover to get warm, One of the Drivers said , thats not spinning, (The Turbine) I said it is, He said no it's not look 
& yes you guessed it, Stuck his finger in, Well he soon wipped it out Minus the end 
We did not bother stripping the engine down to retrieve the piece
He never did it again suffice to say .
Ahh, The good old days before health & Safety went Mad
