Consequently turbine
power will be nearly the same. Turbine power is the bottom line
for turbo compounding.
Paul,
It's interesting that the difference in power output is so equal
with the various TC configurations! Until the max output the curves
are so close that they are almost idenitical.

Note the boost is limited to 6 psi by the waste gate so that
may have something to do with it. I don't think we can conclude too much
from this paper as it was highly oriented towards transient response
and not max HP. It was a cross flow engine so the turbo charger was mounted
on the end of a 58 inch long exhaust pipe. Rather strange for a turbo
installation.
