Speed of air

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows or round about on how fast air in the intake pipe is moving for every 1psi being pushed?

I'm sure there's an equation for it, but I do not know it. I'm sure it's specific to each application though and would change depending upon where you're measuring as well. In my mind it's unlikely that air speed is constant in the intake piping because of different inner diameters (and therefore volumes) at different points.

i'm a little fried from my physics midterm this morning, but my mind is (half)running off of a damn monster energy drink. you should be able to take the volume of airflow from a compressor map. then find the volume from the turbo compressor outlet, through piping/intercooler, and to the throttle body. you could probably figure out it's speed from there give or take some due to change in air density. i dunno. i'm gonna crash as soon as i calm down...
