The thing about that question is that they never took physics/chemistry. Pressure and temperature have a positive correlation (PV=nRT)...therefore if it's hotter, it is neccesarily at a higher pressure. I said B also, because the higher temp just leads to a higher pressure, and it's really the pressure that turns the blades in the turbo.

lol... me too at 9 points... WTF is an AVNT
I got a 13, but there are some product specific questions there that are silly. Anyone know the first production use of a VNT turbo? How about the first production turbo car? (I know both, and think they would be better on a general turbo question)
