What is the turbocharger?

Turbochargers are based on gas turbine
engine technology, but operate under con-
siderably greater pressure.
The turbocharger consists of two turbo el-
ements, a turbine and a compressor, both
of which are driven from the main center
shaft. The turbine rotates between 50,000-
100,000 spins per minute and uses the en-
ergy of the exhaust gas to drive the com-
pressor. The compressor, in turn, draws in
fresh air which it supplies to the cylinders
in compressed from.
As more fuel is drawn into the engine, out-
put performance is boosted between 15-
30% in comparison to a non-turbocharged
engine.

Advantages of a turbocharger

Turbocharger helps the engine operate more
smoothly and with greater efficiency.
