Boost in reverse......
I love the internet
Hilarity ensues : Warning, Epic Fail content.
So we all know that the supercharged engines need the intake bypass valve so they work in reverse. Otherwise the supercharger would just suck all the air out of the cylinder. So knowing that, how does the turbocharged version work in reverse? The engine is trying to suck air backwards, yet the turbo wants to spin forward so I don't see how it works. Is there some sort of exhausting intake bypass valve on the turbo version? Also, if it does have the valve, does that also mean that it can make boost in reverse? Like how much boost? Like 5 psi or does it go over 20?
Can anyone help me sort this out?

I'll save you guys all the stupidity of that thread.
The OP of that thread is kidding. He knows engines don't run in "reverse." That forum now has a ton of hits for no good reason except fooling people into thinking there is a moron out there that thinks when a car is in reverse the engine runs in reverse.
