Page 125 TURBO CHARGER SYSTEM 5–3 INTRODUCTION 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 ele- ments, a turbine and a compressor, both of which are driven from the main center shaft. The turbine rotates between 50,000~160,000 spins per minute and uses the energy of the exhaust gas to drive the compressor.
