Is a TD running at partial-load (say, 20-30hp) more efficient if the turbo isn't providing any pressure; or if the turbo is set up to provide enough boost (say, 3psi) to overcome intake-resistance losses?

thanks

to be perfectly honest, I do not have enough information on that. I was trying to learn more about turbos. Thank you for the excellent dialogue.

My belief is that a turbo-ed engine is more efficient than a n/a. pretty lame.
