Variable Geometry Turbochargers
With the Green Revolution upon us, the turbocharger is making big waves helping boost efficiency and increase power in both performance vehicles and daily drivers. Turbocharged cars often experience “lag” at lower speeds due to the time required for sufficient exhaust pressure to build up and spool the turbo.
VIDEO: Turbochargers and Carbon Deposits
Andrew Markel explains the importance of taking extra steps to keep from damaging the turbocharger during a regular induction cleaning.
Turbo Trouble: How Turbochargers Work
Turbochargers are great for adding power to any gas or diesel-powered engine, but are especially useful in small displacement engines. The boost to airflow that a turbocharger provides increases the breathing efficiency of the engine for more horsepower and torque.
Honeywell Using Racing Experience To Fine-Tune Turbochargers For Global Market

Component Connection: The Mod Squad – Boosting Engine Power With Turbochargers And Superchargers
The power that a naturally aspirated engine can make is limited by its displacement and how efficiently you can make it breathe with cylinder head, camshaft and induction system modifications. The engine can only inhale so much air because the atmospheric force that’s pushing air into the engine is only 14.7 lbs. per square inch at sea level. To make matters worse, atmospheric pressure decreases with elevation. Air density also decreases with temperature because hot air is thinner than cold air.
