Wow. I didn't think making a post whereby the point was to see whether an idea was possible would get me insulted just because it essentially isn't possible/not needed (besides, the Brunel course is actually a Mechanical Engineering course with very little car-based content). I don't claim to know a lot about proper racecar engineering - that's why I'm studying.

The concept is based upon what was stated before as an EGR system whereby the exhaust gasses were passed through the turbo (or more likely a supercharger), cooled and used in the combustion process again. My question was whether if the reused exhaust gasses were then further cooled whether that would generate more power or less.
