If the exhaust valves are open any time the intake ports are open, how does a turbo do any good?




Other than pressurizing the inlet side of the blower which reduces the power required to turn it, a turbo does do not do much for a 2 cycle Detroit. Remember a turbo only takes an 8V-71 from 318 hp to 350 hp, just about a 10% gain, likely about what it takes to turn that shaft drive blower under load..
