Am I right in thinking that flow into / though a turbo (or any other orifice!) is limited by the inlet hole? As atmospheric pressure is pushing the air INTO the turbo, and that's limited to 1bar, the total flow cannot exceed the limits of the inlet?

(Assuming no + pressure from moving the aperture through the air etc).
